    SOUNDDELIVERY MEDIA

    Sounddelivery Media has a vision of a more equitable society where people with lived experience are part of creating social change. We work alongside people with direct experience of social injustice and inequality to advocate for themselves and their communities publicly by providing training, support and mentoring, media meet ups and media opportunities.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
