OUR PARTNERS
Who we are
As a team of volunteers with backgrounds in engineering, law and museum curation, we pride ourselves on the creation of spaces for safe discussion on topics surrounding 'belonging'.
​
We started in 2020, in active response to the rise in hate crimes against the ESEA community as a result of the pandemic.
​To uplift ESEA voices, our team works across three pillars:
-
Quantitative Research
-
Events: Community Development and Engagement
-
Journalism (in partnership with Resonate Voices and Tan's Topics)
Voice ESEA is driven to support ESEA communities across the UK. We are currently based in London and Manchester, and offer training to volunteers similarly keen to enable change in their region.
What we do
We are built on 3 core values:
01.
Communication, for community
​Creating spaces for education and safe, open discussion. We incorporate a quantitative evidence-based approach to our educational materials.
03.
Integrity, in all that we do
Making sure all our volunteers and partners we work with are engaged, and align with our culture of commitment, honesty and openness.
Furthering our impact
Feedback and fundraising
Voice ESEA is an entirely volunteer-driven organisation, with our dedicated team contributing diverse expertise to each project and event. We're supported by fundraising efforts and strategic partnerships, building on our established products, reliable team, and respected voice in the community.
We work toward a future where ESEA history is integrated into UK school curricula as standard. Through our ESEA Data Project, we aim to help police jurisdictions standardise hate crime data management and deliver targeted community support. By creating safe spaces for discussions of belonging, we envision generations who never question their place in society.
