Sounddelivery Media is a dynamic charity that seeks to amplify lived experience stories and expertise to address social inequalities. We work alongside people with direct experience of injustice and inequality to advocate for themselves and their communities.
Our Spokesperson Network constitutes a network of media savvy spokespeople, who have direct experience of social injustices.
