Andrew Sansom Photography
As a photographer based near Reading, I am passionate about the environment and wildlife. It actually hurts when I see the amount of rubbish carelessly deposited around Reading. As a member of Connect Reading, I found out about RESCUE in 2007, and I had to become involved. I joined the Steering Committee, gave days of my time to photographing the event, and am involved in adding content to this website. By joining RESCUE I can help the Community and the Environment at the same time.
Designation are Reading Based Brand Consultants, and are also members of Connect Reading. They have donated the design, hosting and technical maintenance of this website.
Novotel Hotels in Friar Street provide the meeting venue for the Steering Committee of RESCUE. A team of Novotel staff were also volunteer rubbish collectors during RESCUE 2008.
