A local photographer has joined a campaign to raise funds for the NHS called ‘Photographers without Frontiers’.

Launched by Ronan Ryle and internationally renowned photographer, Damian McGillicuddy, ‘Photographers without Frontiers’ sees over 100 photographers from all over the UK come together to offer families a chance to capture a precious image of their loved ones and at the same time raise funds for the NHS.

Catrine-based master photographer, Kevin, from KSG Photography, commented: “The ‘Photographers without Frontiers’ is a great initiative to be involved with, what we ask is for people to make a minimum donation of £10 through our just giving page to the ‘NHS Charities Together’ and in return they will receive a voucher from us which entitles them to free portrait session with myself and a web image for them to use online saying they have supported the NHS.’

“People really recognise the importance of capturing special moments of our loved ones, children, family and pets, which is why we thought as photographers we should all come together in what is a very competitive industry and make a difference to a special charity. We want to give something back to the communities in which we live and work, along with raising these vital funds for the wonderful work that the ‘NHS Charities Together’ carries out.’

‘NHS Charities Together’ play an important role in contributing to provide services that are above and beyond what the NHS alone can provide. They are also a forum for nationwide fundraising and advocacy campaigns, offering specialist advice, guidance and bespoke training, as well as access to online resources.

‘Photographers without Frontiers’ aims to bring together a community of photographers, with two aims; support ‘NHS Charities Together’ and ensure families have a fantastic image to enjoy for years to come.
