JOJO MAMAN BÉBÉ LAUNCHES INSPIRING ‘ FROM A MOTHER TO ANOTHER ’ CAMPAIGN
From a Mother to Another , the initiative from JoJo Maman Bébé , starts collecting again on 22nd February 2017 . The aim ? To reduce the shocking levels of clothing waste that end up in landfill while helping those in need in the UK with distribution via Trussell Trust food banks , as well as thousands of Syrian refugees living in Lebanon .
JoJo will be collecting good quality outgrown or unwanted baby and children ’ s clothes in sizes 0-6 years , and children ’ s shoes . Customers are requested to make up complete outfits , with shoes in a separate bag , and donate at one of their 80 stores across the UK and Ireland . A full list of stores can be found at www . jojomamanbebe . co . uk / stores .
UNDERGRADUATE FROM SUSSEX RECEIVES ‘ STUDENT PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR 2016 ’ TROPHY
A student photographer who said he was “ shocked beyond words ” to have won a national annual competition has been presented with a trophy .
Henry Nathan , who was praised for his “ stunning and timely ” shot of a light shining through a cave in America , beat 850 entries to win the Calumet Student Photographer of the Year 2016 competition .
Nearly a third of the UK ’ s clothing ends up in landfill , equating to 350,000 tonnes a year .
Sending good quality , little-worn handme-downs to those in need would mean they are worn by many more children , extending the clothes ’ lifespan . JoJo Maman Bébé will cover the extensive costs of checking , sorting , shipping , customs clearance and managing the logistics of delivering the parcels to the partner charities in Lebanon and to the Trussell Trust ’ s foodbanks across the UK .

RARELY EXHIBITED KEITH TYSON WORKS TO GO ON DISPLAY AT JERWOOD GALLERY
This exhibition of work by the 2002 Turner Prize Winner , Keith Tyson , will feature more than 360 studio wall drawings created over the last 20 years of his career , many of which have never been publically exhibited before .
Keith Tyson explores some of the most fundamental preoccupations of our shared human experience in his work , taking the universe and our place in it as his subject . Shown together for the first time , these drawings form not only a record of the passing time , but also provide a unique insight into the working practices of an artist .
“ Shown together , the drawings form a record of passing time . I prefer to exhibit them in solid blocks and arrange them associatively rather than chronologically ,” says Keith . “ This is how the mind and memory seem to work . Proustian , nonlinear and yet anything but random – I ’ m often amazed at how the drawings so obviously predict my future direction long before I am consciously aware of it .”
The company ’ s managing director , Jon Warner , presented the 20-year-old with his trophy and a certificate at Calumet ’ s flagship store on Drummond Street earlier this month . He also won a package of prizes worth more than £ 11,000 . Henry , from Turners Hill near East Grinstead , who studies at the University of Leeds said : “ I am absolutely blown away to have been named the winner of this prestigious competition , which I am sure will help establish my place as a photographer in the industry .”
