Photobox is really proud to be supporting the NHS by donating 9,000 reusable face masks designed by our team and hospital staff to St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust 🌈💕✨ These beautiful and colourful masks will be distributed to select patients, including children and their families, as well hospital staff and visitors in non clinical situations. This will enable the hospital to reserve their stock of clinical masks for vital situations Thanks to everyone at Photobox who contributed to set this up 👏 #supportthenhs #masks #photoboxmasks

Earlier this month our Women in Leadership group paired up with our Engagement Committee to host a remote screening of the Feminista Film Festival and Tour ? The Feminista Film Festival was set up by Laurie Mucha and Dan Mucha (Photobox CEO), with the aim of telling the stories of inspiring women and girls from around the world and connecting them to female role models ???? On the evening we came together to hear about the great work of the organisation and why it was set up, and then we watched a number of inspiring and thought provoking short films ? Thanks to everyone who helped organise the evening! ? #feministafilmfestival #inspiration #rolemodels #eachforequal
