People's Voice Media's works with housing associations and residents.

Engagement
People's Voice Media have worked with over 150 residents through our innovative programmes, including Community Reporter Programme. Residents 
have increased their confidence, skills and employability prospects.

Consultation
People's Voice Media have established a range of methods of consultation, including video booth and community reporter training. In this case study, in Broughton, Salford resident Community Reporters gathered local viewpoints on issues to do with employment, diversity and their area. These were used to develop a local action plan for the area which was monitored by the council.

Dialogue/Feedback
People's Voice Media develops innovative ways for Housing Associations to engage in dialogue with and encourage feedback from their residents. For instance, we supported residents to produce a video letter in order to engage in dialogue with their housing association about a planned regeneration project. This led to improved communication and reduced tension between parties.

Skills
People's Voice Media support residents through the Community Reporter's Programme, increasing their confidence and skills. Housing associations have not only been able to up-skill residents through the programme but have also used the content produced for their own publications and websites.
