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:
“If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence. As it is, the best of us walk about well wadded with stupidity.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The frequent failure of men to cultivate their capacity for listening has a profound impact on their capacity for parenting, for it is mothers more than fathers who are most likely to still their own voices so they may hear and draw out the voices of their children.”
—Mary Field Belenky (20th century)
