Through my documentary photography, I aim to shed light on vital and overlooked groups in society. In ‘Community’ I worked with Age UK Medway and their Mackenney Day Centre in Gillingham, Kent where I captured both portraits and documentary images to highlight what goes on there alongside individual stories. I was motivated to make this work when I read statistics from Age UK which stated that there are now 1.4 million chronically lonely elderly people in the UK today. I wanted to showcase the work that establishments such as the Mackenney Centre do to help tackle this and how they provide socialisation and enjoyment for members of our elderly community who may not experience this otherwise.
