This two-hour workshop is an introduction to the Community Voices programme being delivered by Media Trust. Running until March 2011, Community Voices will provide funding of up to £14,000 for 26 grassroots groups to develop media projects in their communities. We will also provide comprehensive tools and resources for communities to help them learn about digital media and how it can make a meaningful difference to the life of their community.
