I need to thank three institutions for their kind financial support, which is helping to make the production of We English possible.

Firstly, I recently received a bursary from the National Media Museum in Bradford. Greg Hobson, Curator of Photographs at the Museum describes the bursary as “part of the Museum’s ongoing commitment to photography and to increase awareness of contemporary photography by promoting the work of emerging photographers. The bursaries will help talented photographers produce ongoing projects or a new body of work, allowing them to develop and enhance their practice and profile.” The bursary was judged by a group of key individuals involved in contemporary art: Michael G Wilson (Chairman of the Trustees of the National Media Museum), Zelda Cheatle (WMG Photography Advisor and Curator), Simon Crocker (Chairman of The John Kobal Foundation), Philippe Garner (International Head of Photography, Christie’s Auction House) and Terence Pepper (Curator of Photographs, National Portrait Gallery).

Secondly, Arts Council England for awarding me with an ‘Individual Grant for the Arts’.

And finally to the John Kobal Foundation and their Chairman, Simon Crocker, who have also committed some funds to the project.
