Music, Audio & Podcasting

Youth Enrichment & Mentoring
Creative workshops, confidence building, public speaking, critical thinking, media literacy and specialist support.
Why Photo 51?
Named after an overlooked image that changed history
Photo 51 was the image that helped reveal the structure of DNA. The discovery changed science, but the woman behind the image, Rosalind Franklin, was overlooked for her contribution.
We chose the name because it reflects our mission. We work with people, stories and communities that are too often underestimated, underfunded or written out of the frame.
Photo 51 CIC exists to make the overlooked visible.

Make impact
Focus changes everything
When people feel seen, they participate differently. When young people are trusted with tools, space and responsibility, they grow. When communities tell their own stories, the picture changes.
