Dear Colleagues,
I am raising money for the Jodi Mattes Trust, that runs the annual Jodi
Awards.
Most of you on the MCG list will know about the Jodi Awards
(www.jodiawards.org.uk <http://www.jodiawards.org.uk> ) which champions
accessibility and the involvement of disabled people in the creation and
testing of digital media in the cultural sector. The MCG played a key
role in setting the awards up, and has been very supportive since then
as we have evolved into an independent charity. We shared a fantastic
day at the V&A in December, when Martha Lane-Fox gave the Awards.
As you can imagine, keeping a small charity afloat at a time like this
is difficult. To date, we have relied on annual grants from sector
agencies as well as sponsors of the Awards event, and website. However,
you will understand that at a time like this, we need to do as much as
we can to ensure we can continue to operate and broaden the source of
our funding.
So, as a Trustee, I thought I better set an example, and I'm running a
half marathon on Sunday 2 May (for aficionados, the Great West Run in
Exeter)
I'd be really grateful for any support, however small.
