What is VOICE?
VOICE is a powerful web-publishing toolkit available to local councils and voluntary groups to help their local community groups, such as schools and sports clubs, to create free websites - and develop them using tailored tools and templates.
As well as posting content, news, documents and audio-visual material, VOICE toolkit users can easily add interactive eParticipation and eConsultation applications to their sites, such as forums, surveys, and petitions.
VOICE is a service provided by Cambridge Open Systems, who support and develop of the VOICE platform, as well as taking care of the day to day running and management of the service.
Who is using VOICE?
A number of Local Authorities and community organisations have portals on VOICE, each independently maintained. To get your free website you must register with an active local portal. If your locality doesn't operate a portal then lobby your local authority to sign-up with VOICE.
