PhotoBox UK, Managing Director, Mark Chapman says: "We want to
engage with young people to celebrate their passion for photography. We
believe we can raise awareness of a remarkable and serious cause by allowing
young people to inspire and motivate us with their diversity and talent
through photos. We are proud to partner with the NSPCC in this aim."

Head of Corporate Partnerships at the NSPCC, Tracy Griffin

so much more than what can be said. A photographic competition fits in very
well with our Child's Voice Appeal, which aims to answer every child's cry
for help. All funds raised through the photo book from the competition will
go towards the NSPCC's Helpline and ChildLine so that more calls for help can
be answered and more unheard voices can be listened to."
