**The NCVO Constructive Voices project aims to promote the positive impact of charities
in the media to ensure the public hears about the good work they do.**

The project is headed up by former BBC News producer on The World at One and PM 
Giselle Green, and will be run in collaboration with CharityComms and the Constructive
Journalism Project. It will also work alongside a separate initiative currently 
being developed by the Understanding Charities Group with NCVO and Acevo to help
improve the narrative surrounding the voluntary sector.

To guide the project, an advisory body of charity and media figures is also being
put together, led by NCVO chair and former BBC presenter, Sir Martyn Lewis CBE.

According to a NCVO [blog post by Green introducing the project](http://blogs.ncvo.org.uk/2016/01/18/introducing-constructive-voices/),
the focus will be very much on promoting the positive work charities do, and not
on rebutting specific negative news stories about the sector. As such, it will act
as a hub for charities’ stories, spot media opportunities and help charities improve
their chances of coverage, promoting constructive journalism, and linking journalists
and charities.
