Beat Bullying wins out at Nominet Internet Awards
Posted under: At Scam Detectives HQ we’d like to congratulate Beat Bullying UK (www.beatbullying.org) for winning the Making the Internet Safer award at the Nominet Internet Awards 2010.
As regular readers will know, Scam Detectives was also shortlisted for this prestigious award, but we simply can’t think of a more worthy recipient than Beatbullying’s fantastic “Cybermentors” project.
From the Nominet Internet Awards winners brochure:
Cybermentors is a unique, safe, youth-branded social networking site that young people aged 11-18 are going to in their hundreds of thousands, for peer and professional support and advice on cyberbullying, bullying or wellbeing issues.
If you have kids who really want to use Facebook, Myspace or Bebo but you’re reluctant to let them because you’re concerned about their online safety, point them in the direction of Cybermentors and you won’t go far wrong!
Huge thanks
We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the team at Nominet for a fantastic experience at the awards ceremony. The venue was amazing, the food delicious and the company inspirational. Yes, we’d have loved to take away a trophy, but to simply be invited to the event as a shortlisted project was a huge honour and a great achievement.
