The VOICES Programme
VOICES: Participation for Social Justice is a Community Foundation for Northern Ireland initiative aiming to capture the experiences of those local people and groups on the margins of society.
The programme offers funding and support for locally based projects that are run by, and for, people who may be experiencing some form of disadvantage and/or marginalisation.
Since April 2010 Voices has awarded approximately £133,546 to thirty six local groups, with amazing outreach work taking place with hard to reach groups
BoldVoices
The BoldVoices event took place at the Queen’s Film Theatre on 19th February 2011, to showcase eleven films produced by local youth groups enabling the participants to have their voices heard through this alternati
ve medium.
Subsequently, six of the films have been aired on Ulster Television (UTV), receiving 38,000 viewers and are currently available on the UTV website.
BoldVoices supported young people and youth groups including those; who were excluded from mainstream education, victims of domestic violence, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender communities and Irish Travellers.
