Introduction	I am a Multimedia Web Journalist, enthusiastic rock climber, lover of nature and all things cultural. My particular interest is human rights and community issues. I have developed a local website www.sheffieldunchained.co.uk about independent people, places and organisations in Sheffield. I have also created a website www.unheardvoices.org.uk: Unheard Voices aims firstly to give a voice to asylum seekers and refugees by telling their stories through film, audio and images. Allowing readers to see them as real people, with real experiences. Unheard Voices aims secondly to take an honest look at the facts, issues and statistics. Allowing readers to make an informed judgement on the issues surrounding asylum in the UK. I also write for the Guardian, Guardian Northerner and Culture Vulture website amongst other publications.
