How we started

We commissioned a photographer Katherine Green to make a visual and written record of the work of 12 of Hackney’s voluntary and community sector (VCS) groups. 

Katherine has taken a series of photographs which will form the start of our interactive exhibition and she produced a booklet on groups you can download here.

Looking Back: Changing Lives in Numbers
