Sounddelivery Media

Sounddelivery Media's work is all about amplifying lived experience stories and expertise to address social inequalities. Wanting to see people use their lived experience of social injustice to influence change on that issue. 

Their focus is to advance the education and awareness of the public regarding poverty, equality and diversity, particularly in respect of communities which are under-represented in the media and other public arenas, specifically by improving media and public representation of such communities. This is done by providing training, mentoring and media engagement to grassroots leaders as well as charities where we work directly with the people the organisation advocates for. 

Sounddelivery Media works closely with organisations across civil society delivering training and support to build personal confidence, storytelling skills, media know-how and media opportunities to enable them to be more visible to the public. They work to address representation and diversity of voice in the media, finding platforms for our networks and building trusted relationships with journalists. Tackling the barriers that prevent these experts from engaging with the media who have the power to influence change.

Sounddelivery Media runs the Spokesperson Network Programme to create a cohort of media-confident and media-aware spokespeople who have direct experience of some of the biggest social issues facing the UK today. They help individuals from marginalised communities solve problems, communicate experiences and create change around them. People with first-hand experience of the issues are often the best people to talk about them and offer solutions to address them. Helping to develop and support networks of expert citizens with the skills and confidence to share their experiences.
