Support Us

Making a donation is easy via our Just Giving Page - here you can make one off donations or set up a regular donation to help secure our future and provide Amber and Side with reliable income.

Please remember, if you’re eligible for Gift Aid, we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate at no cost to you - so make sure when making your donation to confirm if you are a UK taxpayer.

One of the most profound ways you can support Amber well into the future is to leave a gift in your Will.

The generosity of individual donor no matter the size of donation makes a huge difference to small organisations like Amber.

Updating your Will to include a gift of any size to Amber is easy. For more information on the process visit: rememberacharity.org.uk

Just like any donation, your gift can be completely anonymous, or you can let us know.

Side as a strong platform for socially impactful partnerships, and we invite brands to work with us as in-kind and funding support can provide essential assistance for us to maintain our meaningful storytelling and community engagement projects - whilst also benefiting their brand with visibility and aligning with their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) objectives.

Sponsors can be for one off projects or for long term partnerships. To discuss how we may be able to work together contact [email protected]

A large part of Side and Amber's work is supported by funds and grants. If you represent a funder who you feel could be a good partner and supporter for our work please reach out to the team: [email protected]

We will be able to supply you with recent project, impact statements, and any other data you may need to support our ongoing efforts.

Side's values are rooted in concern for working class, marginalised or threatened lives and landscapes, whether this is in the UK or abroad. These principles can be in relation to the communities reflected in production, exhibition, education, or other activities involved in creating photographic work.

If you have a project you would like to donate to the AmberSide collection in line with our guiding principles we're happy to hear from you. Contact: [email protected]

Terms & Conditions

AmberSide Trust recognises a fundamental responsibility to protect the integrity of the AmberSide Collection and of the work, by Amber Film & Photography Collective or others which draws on, extends it, or engages its values. 

AmberSide Trust will only accept work for deposit in the AmberSide Collection where there is a clear logic for its inclusion:

• where it is generated through the production, commissioning or exhibition activity of Side / Amber Film & Photography Collective;

• where it has been created out of similar concerns and thematic territories as work we currently hold; or where it is considered to be representative of gaps within our current collection which the Side curatorial team are currently looking to expand;

• where it can be used in the work of Side Gallery, Amber Films, AmberEducation or in our online programming and can be made accessible to the wider public.

Our collection has limited space available for deposits and AmberSide reserves the right to refuse a proposed donation even where it could be justified under any of the above principles.

We do not accept physical submissions unless requested by AmberSide directly, work for submission should be sent digitally for review. If the work is of interest the team will be in contact with you. If you do not hear back from us unfortunately your work has not been accepted for inclusion in our collection at this time.
