"Better than Beckham" is the claim of special needs charity Kisharon after its dinner appeal video scooped a major industry award for the second successive year.

The production company Vanilla Films took the Gold Evcom Clarion Award for its three-minute video, Through My Eyes, which used heightened sound effects to give an understanding of how the world appears to people with learning disabilities.

Having helped the charity to raise £800,000 from the dinner, it was chosen for the prize in the celebratory films category ahead of a Unicef production featuring David Beckham.

Vanilla Films' co-managing directors Debra Sobel and Karen Benveniste accepted the award with Kisharon fundraising director Richard Franklin at the London ceremony.
