This inaugural award recognises the huge impact that Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) digital leaders are making within the charity sector.
Initially joining the charity on a short-term contract to manage the launch of our previous website in 2013, Mitesh Gandhi has stayed for seven years and transformed the organisation's digital communications and marketing.
If you have visited the charity's main website or various microsites, followed its ever-growing online channels or downloaded the immersive 'In My Shoes' app, then you have experienced just some of Mitesh's innovative work.
