The exhibition is a reflection of the closure of JHQ military Garrison through the eyes of a Year 13 Children’s Service Education Arts Award Gold student.

The preview evening is the launch of a month long exhibition at the school. The photographs will then be auctioned and proceeds will go to The Afghan Appeal Fund. This fund is a military charity for soldiers to build schools for Afghan children.

A New Direction has worked in partnership with Service Children's Education (SCE) since 2009, delivering creative programmes in a number of SCE schools in Germany through the Creative Partnerships programme.  SCE has also supported hundreds of young people from it's schools through the Arts Award and are now the largest Arts Awards Centre, with the most awards outside of England.
