I’m heading off to the Digital Impact Awards in London tonight, where we’re shortlisted for ‘Best Use of Digital to Aid a CSR Campaign’ for our free accessibility programme of webinars and podcasts.
And, honestly, the company we’re in is great.
Purina are up for their ocean restoration work, bringing back seagrass meadows and oyster reefs around Europe. They even ran a pop-up oyster bar in London where you weren’t allowed to eat the oysters, because they were busy cleaning the water.
Then there’s the Dutch Headache Alliance, with a campaign reminding people that migraine is a real illness, not just a bad headache.
That one really hits home for us. We’ve written photosensitivity guidelines for HSBC and built an AI tool that flags seizure and migraine risks in digital content, so we know the damage flashing and flickering content can do.
Three very different finalists. But all with the same aim of taking stuff people overlook seriously.
Fingers crossed for us all tonight.
And it’s great that we’re already winners this week. Our podcasts have just been awarded a Bronze Award in the 'Belonging & Inclusion Podcasts' category of the Lovie Awards (https://lnkd.in/eC-ZY8KJ)
It’s quite something to be mentioned in the same awards list as Louis Theroux.
Sadly we didn’t win the People’s Lovie for our category. But thank you to every single one of you who voted for us -your votes mean the world to us.
If you’ve missed them, or already love them, you can now get our archive of podcast episodes in a new way on YouTube, along with short clips from each episode aiming to answer your digital accessibility questions quick and direct.
These provide yet another way to get free accessibility help when you need it from our seasoned experts at Hassell Inclusion.
Let us know what you think of the Shorts.

Together, we’re making accessibility happen. Thank you
