In 2018, the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded the Kenlock Archive a grant to do the Expectations Project, which aimed to increase public access to Neil’s photographs of black British community leaders in the 1960s and 1970s.
The project was managed by creative director and curator Emelia Kenlock, who produced a touring exhibition supported by a wider exhibition programme.
Many years later the project still has a huge impact on communities across the UK and beyond. Thank you to all the National Lottery players who helped make the project possible!
