I’m at work. I’m bored. Make me laugh.

Trawl Rockall for:

And all the money goes to this charity

Our apologies for not explicitly stating the charity all the proceeds of this trip would go until now. We were waiting for final agreement before posting the details. But that is all done and we can proudly announce that the Rockall Charity Assault will be benefitting Learning Difficulties Media, the latest initiative by well-respected charity Mental Health Media.

What is Learning Difficulties Media? We asked Mental Health Media the same thing and this is what they told us: "Learning Difficulties Media is the latest initiative developed by Mental Heath Media. It will support and promote the voices and experiences of people with learning difficulties through a wide range of media including video, CD-ROM and websites.

"It will bring together people with learning difficulties and those with expertise in media and production to work on a range of innovative projects. This will include media skills training for people with learning difficulties, training for journalists and film makers, an annual media award and the production of video and new media resources.

"Learning Difficulties Media has received initial funding which pays for staff one day a week to monitor the current media climate and find out from people with learning difficulties what they think about the way the media represents them. Further funding is required to turn this knowledge into action.

"Mental Health Media is a unique communications organisation working in the fields of communication and mental health. Through its expertise in video and multi-media production, media relations and marketing, it promotes the voice of people with mental health problems."

Which should just about cover it. If you want to know more about Mental Health Media, visit their website at http://www.mhmedia.com.
