THREE groups of people with learning disabilities have been recognised with £500 Inspiring Voices Awards from Media Trust for using digital media in an inspiring way.
The winners include a group from Sunderland that created Ourvoiceoursay.com, a website that offers people with learning disabilities the opportunity for social networking, and the chance to upload their own videos.
London-based Netbuddy.org.uk provides hundreds of practical tips and suggestions for supporting people with learning disabilities.
And Wokingham-based Radio Marmalade is giving disabled people a great platform for them to have a voice.
Gavin Sheppard, Media Trust’s director of marketing, said:
“It’s really exciting to see the wealth of digital media work going on in so many communities. These awards help to highlight that excellence as well as providing them with the means to further grow their work and inspire other communities to find their voice and make it heard.”
