HELLO!

Welcome to Photo Hub North

We facilitate community events, develop sustainable solutions, bring communities together, run workshops, offer studio and darkroom hire, provide photography facilities, and run photography-based health and wellbeing courses.

Photo Hub North CIC is a not-for-profit social enterprise, founded in March 2021 by Lisa Holmes, promoting social inclusion. We aim to improve community cohesion, the wellbeing of local people and promote an increased understanding of our shared environment, through engagement with environmentally sustainable, photography-based creative projects available to all.

WHY?

Dealing with the challenges of today can be hard for everyone. Through her own experience and previous work in the community, Lisa has experienced and seen first-hand the benefits photography can bring to support people with a wealth of different well-being issues, such as loneliness, isolation, low mood, stress, anxiety and personal trauma.

That is why we are proud to offer free socially prescribed

photography courses, that, through weekly attendance, aim to support improved physical and mental wellbeing.

To join these sessions please contact your local GP or social prescriber

  • “I am personally grateful that Photo Hub North exists. The brilliant and energetic Lisa Holmes had the vision to set up and lead this facility. It is there to inspire and enable everyone to have the opportunity to have access to photography, training, facilities, and opportunities to learn about all the processes involved"

    Carolyn Medelsohn - Photographer

  • "Lisa ran two fantastic workshops for our adult wellbeing group. They were both really well received and lovely sessions. We enjoyed looking at nature closely and capturing images using mobile phone cameras and also printing images of nature using sunlight and light sensitive paper. Lisa is friendly, engaging and runs fantastic photography workshops, which I would highly recommend"
