EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured in June 1984, we are transported to the picturesque Churchtown Farm in Lanlivery, Cornwall. The image showcases a moment of generosity and inclusivity as a field studies centre dedicated to providing holidays for young disabled people and youngsters with special educational needs receives a thoughtful gift from the Par Scout Group. Amidst the idyllic backdrop of rolling green fields and clear blue skies, Gordon Faddy can be seen seated in his wheelchair at the forefront of the photograph. As an esteemed fundraiser for the center, he embodies resilience and determination. With gratitude etched across his face, Gordon accepts a vibrant kayak on behalf of the center from members of the scout group. The significance of this gesture lies not only in its material value but also in its symbolic meaning. The kayak represents freedom, adventure, and boundless possibilities for those who may face physical or cognitive challenges. It serves as a powerful reminder that everyone deserves opportunities to explore nature's wonders regardless of their abilities. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully captures this poignant moment where compassion intersects with outdoor exploration. Through his lens, we witness how acts of kindness can bridge gaps between communities and empower individuals to overcome obstacles together. This remarkable snapshot is a testament to Cornwall's spirit: one that embraces diversity while cherishing its natural beauty - an inspiring tale woven into our region's rich tapestry.
