Local resident and photographer Rebekah Kennington came up with the wonderful idea to take pictures during this pandemic so that she could provide local families with a positive memory from lockdown whilst raising money for The League of Friends of Teddington Memorial Hospital.
Rebekah said, “I had a fantastic response from locals, who loved that they got photos of their families at such a unique moment in time while donating with all of the money going to the charity.
I called the project ‘Doorstep Smile 4 NHS’ to reflect the positive nature of the photos, the fact they were taken in a socially-distanced way, and that the donations benefited the local NHS Teddington Memorial Hospital”.
Rebekah raised an amazing £1,165 in total and was delighted to be able to use her professional skills as a photographer to help The League of Friends in this way.
A huge thank you to Rebekah Kennington and our local community for supporting The League and truly caring about our much-loved hospital.
