Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The Trust not only focuses on increasing public knowledge by doing the work as detailed above, but also by widely disseminating the useful results of the work done.

• As a matter of course, the Trust publishes the work on its website; enables its partners to do so on their websites; disseminates these outputs via our social media networks [e,g, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube], and encourages our partners to do the same.

• The educational value of HWT’s projects has been ensured in 3 ways: 1. HWT delivers projects for and with established charities and other organisations with the capacity to ensure the educational value of the materials being developed. The Trust’s work has received enthusiastic endorsements from all the organisations it has worked with. There are frequent repeat requests.

• 1. HWT has a panel of advisers with recognised expertise in areas of academic enquiry relevant to the work of the Trust, and the necessary knowledge, experience and gravitas. Trustees have consulted in-depth with our advisor Dr Ros Taylor.
• 1. The founding trustees have decades of public education experience themselves, covering both school-based and digital education:  Peter Armstrong was a distinguished senior executive at the BBC, producing and commissioning award-winning documentaries raising public awareness and knowledge about global development, and is winner of the BAFTA Lifetime Achievement Award for interactivity.

• Anuradha Vittachi is a qualified teacher (PGCE, University of Oxford) carrying through those pedagogic practices in her work as an author, lecturer, TV documentary-maker and award-winning digital editor, using media to serve public education on global development.
