New Focus first met in April 2012 and in the past 6 years the group have created five short films, met with Bradford’s key cultural figures, worked on a major Heritage Lottery funded publication and exhibition Changing Bradford, developed their own recruitment strategy, raised £600 through Kickstarter to fund the production of a short film Bradford Video Portraits and creativley directed the ground breaking project No Mans Land: Young People Uncover Women's Viewpoints of the First World War. New Focus has high ambitions and by working closely with both Impressions Gallery and Bradford’s diverse communities the group plays a role in Bradford by providing meaningful experiences for young people.To find out more about New Focus visit their blog http://newfocusblog.wordpress.com/

I have really learnt a lot from working with the other members. Everyone has such different ideas and
interesting perspectives on photography and Impressions Gallery. I have enjoyed being a part of the various
projects we have taken on. I appreciate having a voice and being able to share ideas for a big gallery like
Impressions. Before New Focus, I never thought I would be able to get so involved with exhibitions and
projects at a gallery Lynsey Barham New Focus member
