sounddelivery were commissioned to help us publicise our book 'An Untold Story' written by 12 women about their life experiences and street prostitution in Hull. We were overwhelmingly surprised by the level of positive publicity they were able to give us in such a short space of time. Our stories reached listeners to the BBC World Service in countries where women are affected by the same issues from very different contexts; helping us spread the sense of solidarity and empowerment which our project was built upon. None of this could have been possible without the extraordinary personal commitment to levelling the playing field of public discourse around those facing stigma and disadvantage, or the extra-mile attitude of Jude and Helena. We remain in a debt of gratitude for this un-dreamed of legacy to our endeavours.

Jude Habib of sounddelivery delivered an excellent course for me recently. We had both fundraisers in the room and members of our Services team and the feedback across the board was brilliant. Her research on us before the day was fab and working with her to tailor the content was seemless. Highly recommended!
Gill Kirk-Burgess, Demelza
Jude came to deliver training at Racing Welfare’s Staff Forum in the summer of 2016. With more than twenty members of staff from all departments taking part, the training catered exceptionally well for a wide range of people with varied digital experience. We all left the day’s training feeling inspired to find innovative ways of demonstrating the charity’s work.

Sounddelivery has helped our service to broaden and improve the channels of communication we have with young people who use our service and with our local community. We are now much more savvy in the way we use social media and apps to show the difference our service makes to young people’s lives.
Mark Watson, SAHA
Being given the opportunity to talk with Jude gave me the confidence that my story was worth sharing and could have an impact on those who listen. Without her it would still be inside. sounddelivery have given me a platform and I am now able to inspire and empower more young people.
Sam Smith, Support the Youth
You gained our trust in a remarkably short period of time. You helped us unlock our voices. I wish to convey my thanks and immense gratitude to you.

The sounddelivery training enabled our team to creatively develop our storytelling which has allowed us to celebrate our work and the young people we support.
Katie Cubbage, London Youth
We found the creative approach to training offered by sounddelivery excellent. Bringing the knowhow of an award winning film director to the training proved to be an inspiration for our staff and volunteers. We’re now working on our own film festival to convey the stories of VOICES customers through the power of multimedia and social networks.
Andy Meakin, Voices of StokeI have used my lived experience to advise VOICES of Stoke, a Big Lottery-funded programme testing alternative approaches to tackling multiple needs and media prejudice and stereotypes. sounddelivery training and mentoring have helped develop my skills in media training, public speaking, filmmaking and blogging leading to online articles for the Guardian and a BBC Radio4 interview. This has built my self-confidence enabling me to share my story.
Darren Murinas, Expert Citizen
We have had fantastic experiences working with sounddelivery, particularly working with young people to enable them to tell a different story about their world. They not only learned the tools and techniques for a range of storytelling media but what was most powerful was the way it helped them to connect with their personal stories giving them confidence to be authentic and capture the stories of others.
Nicola Kidston, Foyer Federation
sounddelivery were excellent to work with I highly recommend using their services. They understood the desired outcome we had and worked hard to ensure we met our objective in a powerful and hard hitting manner. Our participants were all sharing a challenging, personal story, and they were impressively sensitive to the needs of our group, enabling them to open up and feel empowered by sharing. They were efficient and were passionate about assisting us publicise our stories.
Jude Long, formerly AVA
I worked with Jude on Systems Changers, a programme designed to empower frontline workers to influence and bring about change. Jude has an incredible energy that she brings to her work and which rubbed off on the people on the programme. In just a short workshop she inspired several people to go on and become prolific bloggers. She truly helped people see the power and potential of their own voices in shaping public debate on issues such as homelessness and mental health. With her ongoing support several pieces were placed with national publications something that those who wrote them had thought impossible.
