Hearing Unheard Voices (HUV)
The Hearing Unheard Voices (HUV) project gives young people the skills and opportunities to speak up to shape the services that they access, through media and campaigning activities.
HUV is open to groups of young people aged 11-18, with a particular focus on those who are rarely heard such as homeless/ carers/refugees/ LGBT/ BME/ disabled parents and those who do not get on well with school or training.
HUV gives young people the opportunity to have their say, through voicing their concerns, talking about what effects their lives, what they want to change, or what they have already achieved through campaigning.
There are 3 strands to HUV these are:
- The Steering Group
- Campaign For Change Toolkit
- HUV Social Network Website

Famous quotes containing the words hearing and/or voices:
“I am glad I made the late race. It gave me a hearing on the great and durable question of the age, which I could have had in no other way; and though I now sink out of view, and shall be forgotten, I believe I have made some marks which will tell for the cause of civil liberty long after I am gone.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep; strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, as sand eddies in a whirlwind.”
—Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)
