We welcome two new Trustees
August 11, 2026
Sounddelivery Media has appointed two new Trustees as the charity continues its next phase of growth.
Sounddelivery Media is a dynamic charity
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 Spokesperson Network
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.
What people have said about us
"Being the Story is an amazing platform for those who are working for social change. Not only did it give us a platform, the team behind it pushed our story into the mainstream media where it has been given a lot of attention, enabling us to gain funding to support the countless young people in our communities faced with issues of knife crime."

When Amy Thompson was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) shortly after her 21st birthday, her life changed overnight. Alongside coming to terms with her diagnosis, she quickly realised how few spaces existed for young adults navigating life with a hidden disability.
Rather than accept that gap, Amy set out to change it.

“Isaac’s idea to give away free food on our driveway now feeds 5,000 people a year.”
July 16, 2026
When nine-year-old Isaac suggested giving away free food from his family’s driveway, nobody imagined where it would lead. Six years later, what began with an old pop-up greenhouse is now a six-site food bank supporting 5,000 people each year across Redditch. In this blog, his mum Claire Simmons, part of our Spokesperson Leadership Programme, shares their story.
