New Focus

I am an alumni of New Focus, I was involved with the production of films and funding videos for future projects. New Focus is a great way to meet other like-minded people who have creative ideas from different backgrounds. New Focus is ideal for you if you’re interested in trying something new whilst having fun along the way with some friendly faces. Being on New Focus has given me vast experience of making films and I am currently working on a project for the BBC.

New Focus has given me a new focus in life, being part of New Focus has been paramount in the growth of my confidence, and I’ve gradually felt more able to put myself into situations I otherwise wouldn’t have considered. New Focus allowed me to express myself outside of school and I’ve suddenly realised I have many more skills and qualities than I thought I had.

I joined New Focus because I wanted to try something new and do activities outside of my comfort zone. I have met some amazing people. I have learnt loads about photography and the experiences of women during the First World War. I now understand the story of the First World War through the eyes of women, and got the chance to work in a team to create an amazing book exploring this!
