Unicef UK's Child Rights Launch Pad (https://launchpad.unicef.org.uk/) takes children and young people on an exciting journey to explore and enjoy their rights. This innovative project was created in partnership with the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, using digital technology to harness the power of sport.

Unicef UK Director of Programmes Teresa Bergin said: "I am delighted that Launchpad has won this award. Children's rights are more important than ever in today's complex world, and we need to develop more creative and exciting ways to get these messages across. Launchpad does just this, and it is largely thanks to the great work of everyone at e3 that we are reaching a bigger and bigger audience with messages about children's rights"

e3 is very experienced in the charity sector and has already provided award-winning services to charities such as The National Trust, Unicef UK and the NSPCC.
