Royal Geographical Society (with IBG): the heart of geography
  FUN
Kye Askins (Northumbria University)

As part of on-going, long term ethnographic research, I went on a ‘day out’ with Families Unite in Newcastle (known to its members as the FUN group), an organisation “supporting refugee and asylum seeking families and encouraging community cohesion in Byker and the surrounding areas.” The trip, in November 2007, to Wallington Hall, near Morpeth, rural Northumberland, involved about 40 FUN members. I loaned 5 digital cameras to the group, which were shared around the children. This exhibition is a small number of the photographs taken, chosen by group members on the trip at a more recent meeting.
