The right to understand — why we sponsor the Plain English Awards

We’re proud sponsors of the Plain English Awards

We’re proud to sponsor the annual Plain English Awards, because supporting the Awards fits perfectly with our business values. We believe in the social, ethical, and financial benefits that come from communicating in plain language.

In fact, that belief was the catalyst for our CE, Lynda Harris, to found the Awards 13 years ago. She wanted the impact of plain language to reach far beyond what Write could accomplish as a business — and she’s delighted that so many have joined the cause!

We explain our sponsorship in more detail in this video. In short, we love supporting the Awards because they:

• champion those people and organisations that are making a difference to people’s lives through clear communication
• promote people’s democratic and ethical right to understand information important to them
• help to create a public preference for organisations that choose to communicate in plain English.
