Meridian Raw CIO is a registered charity that helps to bring about social change and advocacy through creative participatory photography projects, inspiring photowalks and photography projects. We use photography as an empowerment tool for marginalised communities, socially excluded individuals and for the wider community.

Since our inception in 2013 we have worked with over 300 participants and facilitated over 2000 photography workshops through our participatory photography programmes.

Our vision is for people to have the opportunity to create space & time to make positive change in their lives. Our mission is to work collaboratively on a range of initiatives that involve & engage people in creative, participatory activities that bring communities together.

Through our guided photography workshops, participants will be encouraged to use digital cameras to take pictures that highlight personal issues in their life, provide an insight into their community, highlight issues around a given topic and communicate expressions of feelings through imagery.
