Our Version Media® CIC is a community media enterprise dedicated to increasing positive and authentic representation of black and other communities often demonised by the press. Our work is underpinned by our core values: 1. Everyone can be empowered to tell their stories using a range of media Our founder, broadcast journalist turned social entrepreneur, Veronica Gordon, has fifteen years’ experience across TV, radio and digital media. Here’s her insider tip: with the right training and support, anybody can successfully tell their own stories in creative and compelling ways. 2. Ethnic and cultural diversity should be recognised, acknowledged and celebrated We believe that everyone should feel represented, included and have a sense of belonging. We are amplifying the voices of black and minoritised communities and making these positive and authentic stories more visible. 3. Authentic storytelling is key to building authentic relationships We teach individuals and organisations skills for authentic, inclusive and impactful storytelling. We’re empowering people to use digital media to create and share stories that reflect their real lives, neighbourhoods and communities. 4. Positive stories lead to positive wellbeing We know that the media’s demonisation and negative portrayal of black and marginalised communities is harming people’s mental health and wellbeing [read our survey findings]. By equipping people with media skills to tell their own stories, we’re making positive and authentic stories more visible. This is boosting self-esteem and wellbeing, while counteracting negative stereotypes at the same time. Our profits are reinvested into amplifying black voices We live by our values and reinvest our profits into amplifying the voices of black British, African and Caribbean communities. It’s one of the ways we’re working towards our vision of a world where black joy is seen, celebrated and accepted. We: Host a Black Community Coverage Clinic to deliver free media skills guidance, advice and support to black residents, community organisers/activists/volunteers and community group leaders Give our Mobile Storytelling training to Hampshire’s black residents, community organisers, community activists and community volunteers for free Support free support and promotion for black business owners through our free Black-owned Business Directory

At Hummingbird we are passionate about bringing out the best in every child. We believe all children are individuals, and they all deserve the opportunity to be nurtured in the way best suited to their particular needs. We are dedicated to inspiring the love of learning that lies in all children, and developing the literacy and numeracy skills to build their future. And we achieve this through a carefully planned programme of one-to-one tuition, designed to give them the tools for entry to the UK independent schools at the age stages of seven, eight, and 11-plus. Hummingbird is also committed to helping children who need to catch up with their studies at school by diagnosing the gaps and learning issues, creating a tuition strategy delivered by supportive teachers. Our highly experienced tutors and consultants provide not only excellence in teaching for all of our pupils, but also care and support for their families at every step of the application pathway for the schools they have chosen for their children. But at Hummingbird our commitment to your child doesn't end with exams. We pride ourselves on looking at the bigger picture, offering a wider perspective on role models, and career opportunities. We want to provde your child with the skills necessary to thrive in today’s fast-changing digital world.
