We believe in a confident social sector able to develop and amplify lived experience stories and expertise to address social inequalities.
We want to see people in positions to use their lived experience of social injustice so they can influence change on that issue.
We work towards greater representation and diversity of the voices we hear in the media and beyond.
Find out more about what we do and who we are.
Our programme creates a network of confident spokespeople, who have direct experience of social injustices. Developed collaboratively with a network of leaders with lived experience, it aims to diversify the voices we hear in the media and in rooms with policymakers and other decision makers. Through training, mentoring, peer support and speaking opportunities, we tackle the barriers that prevent these experts from engaging with the people and platforms that have the power to influence national conversations. Meet the network.
"Being involved with the Spokesperson Network is an experience I will never forget. It feels like I am part of an incredible, unique family. I have learned so much. I always come away with renewed passion, and the goal to keep going no matter how complex the issues I am trying to highlight."

We’re living in a moment when it’s becoming harder to know what to trust. Misinformation and disinformation spreads quickly. Often designed to provoke and divide, stories can be distorted and amplified instantly. Images can be manipulated and videos generated. This means it’s becoming increasingly difficult to sort fact from fiction.
As we mark International Women’s Day 2026, this year’s theme, Give To Gain, feels deeply personal to me – not only as CEO of Sounddelivery Media, not only as a charity leader, but as a Black woman who understands firsthand the power of what happens when someone chooses to invest in you.
