About this Event
Developing in the Dark – illuminating stories of support
Join us for a Portrait Project for National Helplines Awareness Day with Helplines Partnership and Little Vintage Photography.
Behind every call or message is a story that deserves to be heard. In February, for Helplines Awareness Day, we’re bringing these stories to light.
Developing in the Dark is an analogue film photography portrait project that reveals the people and stories of individuals whose lives have been transformed by helplines.
The individuals in this project represent millions who've found lifelines when they needed them most. Their stories challenge assumptions about who needs help and why. They're your colleagues, your neighbours, the person next to you on the train—ordinary people navigating extraordinary challenges. Their personal struggles often go unseen and we want to raise awareness of helplines and the amazing work of the sector.
These portraits will reveal:
- The breadth of issues helplines address
- The diverse communities they serve
- The life-changing difference a single conversation can make
- The hidden resilience in all of us
When someone sees themselves reflected in these portraits—their struggle, their survival—they'll know they're not alone. They'll know that reaching out isn't weakness. They'll know there's help waiting.
