The camera collection drop-in sessions are now finished for this year, but we are always open-on-request - if you want to visit, just email [email protected], and we'll sort a date and time.

[Jim Matthew Camera Collection Trust @CameraTrust]

You don't need to visit to get one of our splendid posters, though - they are available by post, or you can pick them up from our local trustees, or if you leave near to St Monans, we might even be able to hand deliver them!

Nominations have to be made each year, but once you’ve nominated, your nomination will be included in all the remaining £1,000 draws in 2024.
The more nominations a charity gets, the better their chances of being drawn, so once you’ve nominated please share with your friends.

[Jim Matthew Camera Collection Trust @CameraTrust]

We are looking for nominations. The more we get, the better the chance of winning.
Anyone can nominate – it’s one nomination per charity, per person. You'll need our charity number - SC050024 - and when it asks for a category, we suggest Heritage Arts.
