Hands That Talk featured in Lloyds Banking Group Video

One of our large grant holders, Hands that Talk were recently featured in a short film produced by our sole funder, Lloyds Banking Group.

It's fantastic to be able to showcase the work of one of our funded organisations through a professionally produced film.

Hands that Talk were established in 2000 to address a significant gap in service provision for Deaf and hard of hearing people living throughout the North-West of NI. They aim to improve the quality of life for Deaf people and furthermore to promote active participation.

Nicva Basic Finance Tutorial Videos

NICVA has developed a series of tutorial videos to help treasurers and trustees of small to medium sized voluntary led organisations understand the basics of financial record keeping and good financial governance. This project was funded through the Special Initiatives Programme from the Halifax Foundation for Northern Ireland.

These videos have also been developed to be accessible to those trustees whose first language is not English. They are available with Irish and British sign language interpretation and English subtitles can be translated into other languages.
