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

“I used to be angry all the time and I’d sit there weaving my anger. Now I’m not angry. I sit there hearing the sounds outside, the sounds in the room, the sounds of the treadles and heddles—a music of my own making.”
—Bhakti Ziek (b. c. 1946)
“A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question, to taste the food of any country, to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
