‘Raising Voices’ Exhibition It was important to us to share all the different creative things that were made by people taking part in the Raising Voices project. The words, pictures and objects people have created help to show how people feel, and this can affect how people looking and listening to them feel about poverty. We wanted to show these to members of the community and decision-makers, to let the stories inform people and get them thinking. The ‘Raising Voices’ exhibition was open on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th March at Staffordshire University in the new Catalyst Building in Shelton. 70 people came to the Exhibition over the two days. The launch night on the 24th of March was a celebration of what has been achieved with the project. It was also a chance to talk about hardship and poverty in Stoke-on-Trent.
