The Million Pixel Project

One Million Pixels.

One hidden photograph. One million pixels. One opportunity to help create somewhere extraordinary.

Sponsor a pixel—or as many pixels as you can.

Every £1 sponsors one pixel. When all one million pixels have been sponsored, the hidden photograph will be revealed.

The Project

Behind this screen is one photograph that has never been publicly revealed.

It contains one million pixels, and every £1 contributed through our GoFundMe campaign sponsors one of those pixels collectively.

You are not purchasing or being allocated a particular pixel. You are helping us reach a shared goal.

Sponsor one pixel—or as many pixels as you can.

When the final pixel has been sponsored, the complete image will be revealed for the first time.

More importantly, every contribution will help move Echo Ridge Retreat closer to reality.

A protective placeholder — the hidden photograph remains obscured

Echo Ridge Retreat

Somewhere to breathe, feel safe and begin to reconnect.

Echo Ridge Retreat is a vision for a peaceful sanctuary in nature and the countryside supporting veterans, serving personnel and blue-light workers who may be living with the effects of trauma, stress or difficult experiences.

Surrounded by mountains, woodland and open space, the retreat will offer opportunities to reconnect through nature, photography, walking, creativity, conversation and shared experience.

It will not be about labels. It will be about creating somewhere people can breathe, feel safe and begin to reconnect.

“Sometimes healing begins simply by being somewhere you finally feel safe.”
