Prepare for panel
Your five minute presentation
Chose any format that makes you most comfortable; slides, a video, or even a live tour. The Chair of your panel meeting will keep you to time, so practise sharing the most important points within five minutes.
It’s okay to only share what you are comfortable with. For example, there is no expectation to share difficult memories or experiences. Your journey matters to us as we explore your story, needs, and potential.

If you choose to share slidesLink to this section
Please follow our guidelines to ensure that your slides are accessible for all panel members:
Use as few slides as possible: we’d suggest a maximum of 5, try not to overload slides with a lot of information.
Use a pastel-coloured background: to make dark text easier to read.
Use a sans-serif font: such as Aptos, Arial, Calibri, or Verdana.
Ensure the font size is large enough: for all text to be easily readable by the audience.
Avoid using jargon: but if this is not possible explain terms clearly.
Please send the User Journey Support team a copy of any files or presentations to awardapplications@unltd.org.uk at least a day in advance as a back up, in case we need to offer you technical assistance during the meeting.
