Fixers wins Mind Media Award 2013
Fixers films about mental health have received national recognition after fending off fierce competition to win a Mind Media Award.
A collection of broadcast stories showing the work Fixers are doing to raise awareness of mental illness has been awarded the prestigious prize – beating a Channel 4 programme and a reality TV show about The Saturdays.
The films, which have been featured on ITV or UTV, were shortlisted in the Entertainment category at the Mind Media Awards.
The winning films were chosen because they increase understanding of mental health issues and were announced at a ceremony at the British Film Institute in London on Monday 18th November.
Fixers Jane O’Mahoney (23) and Erin Ruddick (22) from Newcastle attended the event, which was hosted by BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills. Fixers head of broadcast Nigel Swettenham accompanied the girls for the photo.
The pair, who have completed a project on the psychological aspects of eating disorders, were representing various groups of Fixers who have chosen to address issues surrounding mental health.
