Turning Cameras into Community Impact

We’re proud to support the High Sheriff of Gloucestershire’s Fund, helping fund local charities and youth projects that make a lasting difference. Customers can now choose to donate all or part of their payment directly to this cause.

What is the High Sheriff Fund?

The High Sheriff of Gloucestershire is one of the oldest civic roles in the UK, supporting law, order, and community wellbeing across the county.

The High Sheriff’s Fund, managed by the Gloucestershire Community Foundation, awards multiple grants of up to £2,500 to local charities and grassroots projects that help young people build confidence, improve mental health, and reduce isolation and anti-social behaviour.
