Photography award aid to 'shine light' on refugees in Ashington

A photographer has won an award for a project involving working with refugees in a Northumberland town.

Jamie Sinclair is the fifth winner of the Rebecca Vassie Memorial Award, which was set up to honour the late photojournalist.

The £2,000 bursary will support him as he returns to his home town of Ashington, where a significant number of refugees are being housed.

He said Hjem (home) aims to "shine a positive light" on their experiences.
