The Tim Hetherington Trust was set up in 2012[1] by the late English photojournalist Tim Hetherington's parents Judith and Alistair.[2] Stephen Mayes has been its executive director since 2013.[3][4] The Trust's website states its mission is "to preserve the legacy of Tim’s professional life as a visual storyteller and human rights advocate" including "the support and nurture of new work that continues the ideals demonstrated by Tim with special emphasis on humanitarian and social concerns".[5][6]
