Mindful Photography to support unpaid carers
“I didn’t notice the daffodils on the way but I on the way back I was more aware. I really pushed myself physically and emotionally and mentally. I will try it again. I am more comfortable in a group than I thought I would be” Participant, 2024
“I definitely feel more empowered by therapeutic photography because it stops me feeling controlled by anxiety and thoughts. It gets me out of my head and feels like a secret power I can use when I need it.” Beth, 2024
“The workshops are very accessible people, it gives everyone a chance to spend time alone whilst being part of the group so it feels less socially intense and allows time to think and focus”. Sue, 2024
“It can involve light exercise and is frequently empowering. The sense of achievement and benefits are often felt quickly and you can continue doing it outside of the group, giving a greater sense of autonomy”. Linda, 2024
“I love how photography can transform how things appear depending upon perspective and that empowers me to feel that I can change how things around me feel or appear” Beth, 2024
North Yorkshire County Council reviews Mindful Photography UK
Paddy Chandler, Stronger Communities, North Yorkshire Council. March 2024
“The work of Rebecca Rowan’s Mindful Photography Community Interest Company projects has been well received and impactful. It is clear from direct feedback and from referring organisations that those taking part benefit from a clear positive impact on their wellbeing. Vitally it is also clear that Rebecca understands the importance of collaborative working with organisations that support people who would most benefit from it. This has led to excellent partnerships and critically targeting those most in need”.
