About the Disabled Photographers' Society
The Disabled Photographers' Society traces its roots back to October 1968, when a minibus took five disabled photo enthusiasts from the Star & Garter Home in Richmond-upon-Thames to a local camera club. The Society now provides a range of services, support, and activities for more than 500 members of all ages and disabilities.
The charity is run entirely by unpaid volunteers and raises funds through donations of cameras and other photographic items. Many of these items are then sold at the DPS stand at The Photography Stand each year. Donations of unwanted gear can be dropped off at the stand if you are visiting the show, or you can can make contact with the Society through its website.
