‘In Focus’, a project led by Toxteth TV, was developed in partnership with a range of voluntary and community organisations within Liverpool and the surrounding areas. The purpose of the project was to develop a series of short documentaries, based around ideas and themes expressed by participants, in order to both empower and give a ‘voice’ to individuals suffering isolation. Learners were supported in the creation of their own media through a programme of training in film/making, writing, TV production and IPTV broadcasts, and produced live studio-based via web broadcasts describing their lives, whilst lessening both their social and digital exclusion. The project worked with older people (both in and out of sheltered accommodation), carers, young homeless people, people from minority groups, and adults with learning difficulties to deliver benefits such as digital literacy skills and access, improved mental wellbeing and confidence, enhanced community cohesion.
