Brighton & Hove Community Reporters

SCIP, Working Together Project and the Friends Centre are launching Community Reporters Brighton & Hove, an exciting new project  that builds on existing training and outreach activities to enable people across the city to get their voice heard.

We are drawing inspiration from a longstanding project in Manchester called Peoples Voice Media (PVM) that trains community reporters and links them to local community websites and other media outlets. We're working closely with PVM to develop training materials and learn important practical lessons based on their experience.

We have initial funding to run a pilot project in Brighton & Hove, linked to the Learning Festival. We recently recruited Amy Riley, an experienced freelance trainer who has a range of experience across different media and worked with various communities in the City.

She will now be working with Mark Walker to develop the Community Reporters Project in Brighton & Hove, which will include delivering training and ongoing support to people who are, or want to be, Community Reporters. This will include building links with local community newsletters, The Argus, BBC, Radio Reverb, etc.
