Testimonials
Rachel, Mum age 41
Role: Course Marshal
Sean, Photography student age 19
Role: Photographer
I am studying at the local institute for my photography Diploma. I contacted Tape2Tape to see if I could be part of the event. I was a little nervous as this is new to me. I didn’t need to worry as Tanya from Tape2Tape supported me and explained everything. I took around 2,000 photographs that uploaded to a free site for the runners. Nicola from Tape2Tape sent me a letter about my volunteering that I will use in my CV for future roles.
