“Voluntary sector”, “charity”, “civil society”, “social action”, “social enterprise”. How should we best describe the third sector? This is the subject of the first of a series of podcasts about the challenges facing not-for-profit organisations, produced by sounddelivery for societyguardian.
This month we are offering a host of training courses – from free Social Media taster days to fully immersive video production. So please get in touch to book your place and discuss your training needs.
We are now the proud winners of a Jodi Award for our project Podcasts from the Past : a joint project with the Museum of London, sounddelivery and VocalEyes. Our project, which won the Digital Access Online Award, involved a group of unemployed Londoners creating audio description podcasts for blind and partially sighted people for the Museum of London.
We’re putting the spotlight on how you can engage and most importantly retain corporate support for the work you do using multi-media content. This doesn’t just apply to traditional charities but also organisations including museums and the cultural and heritage sectors many of which now require corporate support.

After a busy summer of audio and video production we’re ploughing into a busy schedule of training courses. This Autumn we’ll be travelling up and down the country – taking in Newark and Durham along the way – leading training workshops in social media, podcasting and creative communications.
For many people the summer is the time to down tools and recharge the batteries but it definitely wasn’t the case for the sounddelivery team office as we’ve just completed a series of exciting multi-media projects for the YHA (formerly known as the Youth Hostels Association).
Over the past couple of months sounddelivery has been making regular visits to Tower Hamlets to the controversial housing development – Robin Hood Gardens. Loved and hated in equal amounts, the buildings are threatened with demolition by the local authority which wants them torn down and replaced with modern housing.
You can find out about the Social Media Exchange, watch videos, listen to interviews, see pictures, and look at presentations from the event on the dedicated Social Media Exchange website.
