This event will be free to enjoy but we would ask that you consider making a suitable donation to the PIPS Charity.  

​

PIPS Charity provides support to individuals who are considering, or who have at some point considered, ending their own lives. PIPS also provide support to those families

& friends who have been touched by suicide.

​

We feel strongly that at this time, such a charity is worthy of your support.  You may make a donation in your own way or by Paypal via catchlightcameraclub@yahoo.co.uk (Catchlight have volunteered to collect donations).

We would ask all club Secretaries and Chairs to actively encourage all their members to attend and make a success of our NIPA Day and celebrate the very best of our shared passion.
