Our project last year with the Queen’s Nursing Institute has won the Third Sector Excellence Award for Best Website alongside other short-listed entries from the likes of WWF, The Prince’s Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support.

The District Nursing 150 website project involved exploring stories, galleries and films throughout the history of District Nursing to celebrate the vibrant one hundred and fifty year history of District Nursing in the UK. We’re very happy the project has been successful for the Queen’s Nursing Institute and look forward to collaborating in the future.

The Third Sector Excellence Awards have rapidly gained pre-eminence as “the Awards to win” in this dynamic, challenging, yet hugely rewarding sector for registered charities, not-for-profits, social enterprises and campaigning groups.

The Awards aim to reward examples of outstanding campaigns, strategies, projects and performance, backed up by hard evidence of success. Winners receive their awards at an immaculately produced and staged dinner and ceremony in London each year. For 2009, the Awards dinner and ceremony will take place at Grosvenor House

We’ve recently been working with Leaping Cow to develop a new XHTML/CSS based website for Review Hair Salons in Petersfield and Waterlooville. Review has a well established team of creative hair dressers and stylists based in Hampshire. They recently won the national title of Salon Team of the Year in the prestigious British Hairdressing Business Awards.

Review’s existing brand indentity was developed for the website with a  focus on minimal design and high quality photography to show off the award winning hair design.

Agent8 has recently been working with the Queen’s Nursing Institute on a project to commemorate one hundred and fifty years of district nursing in the UK. The District Nursing 150 website is a celebration of the vibrant one hundred and fifty year history of District Nursing in the UK, exploring stories, galleries and films throughout the history of District Nursing.

Visit the website launched today: http://www.districtnursing150.org.uk/

The Queen’s Nursing Institute approached Agent8 to help develop an identity for the DN150 project. This identity was then applied across print collateral and the creation of an HTML CSS website with Flash features. The project included the use of a rich collection of archive photography and footage from the British Film Institute National Archive.

‘I am delighted to offer my congratulations to district nurses on the occasion of their 150th anniversary. District nurses provide a vital service, particularly to more vulnerable people who may not be able to access other forms of healthcare. We have much to learn from you experience as more services are provided in patients’ homes. I salute the hard work of each one of the district nurses who have cared for Londoners over the past 150 years and wish you all the best for your anniversary celebrations and the future.’
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London
