Charity Comms, the professional membership body for charity communicators, recently held a conference exploring the opportunities digital media offers to reach key audiences, build profiles and demonstrate impact. To support the event sounddelivery created a number of audio reports with delegates and speakers. These were recorded, edited and uploaded online within the day allowing sharing and promotion to take place almost instantaneously.

For this year’s London Advice Conference, organised by advice UK, Citizens Advice, Law Centres Federation and Lasa, sounddelivery was employed as “conference reporter” to capture interviews with key speakers and delegates and create a highlights report of the day. The interviews were uploaded to AudioBoo and tweeted out over the course of the day allowing Twitter followers of the conference to engage with the content.

OneTwoEight is a small community centre in Myddleton Road, North London, which aims to create a space for the local community to come together for different groups and projects. sounddelivery was commissioned to produce an intergenerational project, titled “My Bowes Park”, to bring young and older people together from the local area and create a snapshot of what it’s like to live in the Bowes Park area.

The National Portrait Gallery offers free Visualising Portraits picture descriptions for Blind and Partially Sighted Visitors on the last Thursday of each month. To help promote their work the Gallery commissioned sounddelivery to produce a series of audio features to illustrate what happens at the sessions and encourage more people to attend.
