Leonard Cheshire Disability (LCD) chose our 'Media Hub' content management system (CMS) to power Ability Media, the website for their new Media Centre in South London. It also powers the sister site AMI Awards, a site for their annual awards that aims to celebrate inclusion and diversity in the creative industries. We also helped LCD to win the 'UK sexual health project of the year' at the prestigious Brook Awards 2010 for our work on the In Touch Project, an interactive learning resource on sexual health and wellbeing for disabled people.

BARKING AND DAGENHAM LSP
We've just completed a major re-design and development of the Barking and Dagenham Local Strategic Partnership website. The key aim of the new site is to provide a shared information space where the local council, primary care trust, police and third sector organisations can exchange latest news and ideas. This is done through the use of online events diarys, forums, newsletters and automated e-bulletins. The Partnership wanted the website to demonstrate 'joined up thinking' to the local population. View the site here.

Media Citizens works with the Metropolitan Police to create new ways to tackle social issues through media projects. These include teenage pregnancy, knife crime and drug abuse. We're currently creating films on knife crime through workshops with young people in three London boroughs and designing an interactive online learning resource and website for the Stolen Lives project.
We also set up yoodoo.org.uk - a participant media website for young people in south London. We designed and built a multimedia website, and also ran youth media clubs with skills training to teach disadvantaged young people how to make their own media. In less than a year over 200 films were made for the site. They provide a valuable resource of information, entertainment and positive role models for young people in south London.
For a different audience, we've also created a training DVD to show teaching staff how to deal with critical incidents in schools. To date 5,000 copies have been sent to primary and secondary schools in London.
BBC3 - LIVE INSIGHT
Live insight is an internal facing "audience research" website for BBC3. The content for the site is produced by a large, diverse group of young people who upload videos, imagery and text using our content management system. The content helps BBC producers keep their ears to the ground with what young people think about contemporary issues.
KINGS COLLEGE HOSPITAL
The NHS and Kings College Hospital commissioned us to create a unique film dealing with young people and sexual health. Our approach started by consulting groups of young people with whom we developed a call to action film based around the popular magazine show format. Incorporating a modern soundtrack, flashy graphics, young presenters, youth slang, and a fair dose of humour. The film represents the best of our participative media approach, and stands out from the monotony of 'boring biology videos' shown in Britain's classrooms.
