Voice In The City is a project that is educating children through the power of music, art, poetry, drama and movement to promote social justice and to encourage participants to have a voice and use it to promote all that is good about Liverpool and Merseyside, to enhance community and personal wellbeing and to encourage children and young people to be positive role models within their communities.

You're The Voice Project

In 2009 Voice in the City released a cover of the John Farnham song “You’re the Voice” as part of an anti gun, knife & gang crime campaign, engaging over 6000 children in the Norris Green and Croxteth areas of Liverpool. The campaign was to challenge these communities to take a stand against such crime and aimed at bringing unity in the aftermath of the tragic Rhys Jones shooting. Following on from the success of this Voice in the City proudly presents “Merseyside Unites”, a project that will unite all the boroughs in Merseyside through the power of song. This time the focus is on addressing the social issues and injustices that blight communities on Merseyside putting the children and youth at risk; issues such as racism, gun/ knife gang crime and poverty. The project hopes to instil and impart community spirit, unity & strength and to celebrate that we are proud to come from Merseyside.

The vision is to release an EP of 2 songs later in the year (“Something inside so Strong” & “This is What Liverpool Means To Me”), both songs will celebrate our culture, diversity and uniqueness showing that even in these times of austerity and hardship Merseyside Unites.

Voice In The City believe as we empower our children and youth of today they will become The Voice Of Tomorrow.
