Digital Heroes Awards 2011

Meet last year's winners.

Now in its third year, Digital Heroes has already helped 37 amazing and inspirational projects.

All the projects have started with someone having a bright idea - and then making it happen. The funding that Digital Heroes provides is part of the success, but it's the inspiring individuals behind the projects that makes them successful. Meet last year's winners.
