Street Action - Committed to street children through action and partnership

Following the success of 'Our Streets' earlier this month, this is your opportunity to view and buy the unique, incredible and beautiful photographs of Lizzie Everard, Bex Morton and Matt Oldfield. Each capture street children in a different way but enable you to see them for who they are. Access our online gallery here: http://streetaction.unity-has.co.uk/

Joe Walker, Director of Street Action says of this exhibition: “We are often conscious as NGOs that we are obliged to view street children in the abstract – another number or piece of data. This does not fully capture the injustice suffered, the arrogance encountered, or the way that these children’s dreams are dismissed. What these photos can do, in a small but significant way, is capture a moment of their reality and make their streets become our streets so that we understand the collective responsibility we have for these children.”

While preparing for the exhibition we focused on a particular phrase that echoes our values and ethos within this project:

I exist as you exist; I am connected to you in your triumphs and your challenges. When you are diminished, I am diminished; when you are raised up, I am raised up with you.

We hope that you become part of these street children's stories; that you will help us make a difference by supporting our work.

The exhibition will be touring around the UK in 2012,so keep in touch to find out further details.
