Hear and Now by Sound Communities CIC

Listen to these wonderful stories and memories told about and around Torbay with young and old people together in conversation.
Hear and Now is bringing people together to find, explore and broadcast oral histories at events, festivals, heritage sites, libraries, schools, care homes and community centres in a wide variety of ways.
This work is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Ageing Well Torbay, Big Lottery Fund, Devon Community Foundation and Torbay Council. We are working in partnership with Torbay Libraries, Torbay Community Development Trust, Torquay Museum, Brixham Museum, local primary schools, community centres, International Agatha Christie Festival, Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust.
