Community Voices aims to inspire, engage and support disadvantaged and isolated communities across England to get their voices heard through digital media.
Led by Media Trust, and running until March 2011, Community Voices will provide funding for 26 grassroots groups, alongside one major new initiative and a further 40 small grants for specific digital projects. Community Voices will also provide comprehensive tools and resources for communities and community organisations of all sizes to increase engagement through digital media.
Community Voices is funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) and the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS).
Whether you’d like to apply for funding for a pilot project or if you are interested in becoming a media volunteer, you can get involved with the Community Voices programme by visiting www.mediatrust.org/digitalmentors/digital-mentors
