In more detail

Civic Voice is the national charity for the civic movement in England, promoting local civic pride. Its aim is to make places more attractive, enjoyable and distinctive.  Its members are hundreds of local civic and amenity societies throughout the country and their members: people who care about pride in place and improving neighbourhoods.

The organisation was set up in 2010, after the closure of the Civic Trust, which had fulfilled a similar role. The video above shows projects shortlisted for the Civic Voice Design Awards in 2016.

Key Facts:

Civic Voice replaced the Civic Trust oin 2010 as a national body supporting local civic societies.
