The Rory Peck Training Fund

Some Feedback...

"Often the danger one is confronted with is not immediately apparent. The training I received improved my ability to assess the risks, where formerly I may well have been as risk to my colleagues as well as myself… my deepest thanks to the Trust for affording me this opportunity."

- Andy Drake, Freelance producer / cameraman (CNN Bursary)


"It shows how seemingly rational situations can become irrational in the field and without warning. It was an education in observing the environs before entering which many persons did so frequently, until courses such as these made people aware of where and what they were going into."

- Hedley Trigge, freelance cameraman (BBC News Bursary)


"It was great to have an opportunity to make, and spot, my mistakes in a safe environment. Having undergone this training I definitely feel a lot more confident and motivated about working in hostile environments in future. Thanks!"

- Victoria Quin-Harkin, freelance photojournalist / journalist, (Freedom Forum Bursary)


"It was an eye-opener to various things that one ignores in the field, or is totally unaware of. Once again, my sincere and heartfelt thanks to the Trust for awarding me the bursary that enabled me to undertake the course"

- Sanjay Sethi, TV Producer / cameraman (CNN Bursary)


"The course made me aware of many aspects of risk and personal security which I hadn't considered. Any journalist working in the field should have this knowledge. I'm very grateful to the Rory Peck Trust for providing freelancers with opportunity to learn these life saving skills"

- Karen Davies, Photographer (Guardian Bursary)


"One gains not only a vastly expanded understanding of the battlefield environment, but also the practical knowledge of how to deal with casualties of gunshots, blast, road traffic accidents and other traumas…I am very grateful to the Rory Peck Trust for giving me the opportunity to benefit from this excellent course"

- William Bowes, freelance cameraman (Freedom Forum Bursary)
