Groundbreaking cinema access website up for top award

Your Local Cinema.com, the not-for-profit cinema listings and and information service for deaf people or people with sight problems, has been shortlisted for a National Lottery Award for Best Arts Project.

The National Lottery Awards are an annual search to find the UK’s favourite Lottery-funded projects and aim to celebrate and recognise the difference that those projects have made to people, places and communities all across the UK.

Many deaf children and their families rely on the Your Local Cinema.com website to enjoy films at the cinema.

By providing weekly information about where and when subtitled films are being shown at the cinema, subtitled films are now a regular feature in hundreds of cinemas nationwide.
