Media Trust's Inspiring Voices awards celebrate the varied and inspiring ways communities have made a positive difference to their lives with the help of digital media.

Inspiring Voices is part of the Community Voices programme funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). The Community Voices programme supports disadvantaged communities making a positive difference to their lives by using creative digital media.




The Inspiring Voices scheme was originally launched in October 2009, and highlighted some fantastic use of digital media by a range of communities. To further celebrate the work of communities using digital media, Media Trust decided to launch the awards scheme again in November 2010.

Once again we have been provided with some great examples of how digital media can help to get communities voices’ heard. Please find out more about the communities that have been recognized by Media Trust by visiting our website
