If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants
We are grateful for the support of numerous major donors, organisations and community groups who have supported our event over the years. Their generosity and trust in our movement has enabled us to create an outstanding experience for our models and guests alike. If you would like to partner with us, we would love to hear from you. Together we can move mountains.

We thank councillors and the Mayor for their partnership and trust. In 2023, This is Me was shortlisted for Community Awards in the Community Initiative of the Year category.
Elite Makeup Academy

Tatiana Scott Photography
So many of the wonderful photos that you have been seeing here are due to the incredible photographer Tatiana Scott.
She is a true artist who draws out the essence of each of our wonderful volunteers and role models each year. There are always squeals of delight when we first see her pictures, each one so carefully curated to ensure that the person is seen and honoured.
