Living Digital With VoiceBox

Who Are VoiceBox Inc?

VoiceBox Inc. begun in 2013, when Amanda Clayson an educational consultant devised a tool called the VoiceBox to encourage vulnerable pupils to talk openly about their experiences and hopes and dreams. Over time VoiceBox has evolved into an innovative safe space used by a whole range of public and private sector organisations for a whole range of purposes, such as addiction recovery services, offender groups and mental health services to name a few.

Creating a Digital Future

Many individuals suffering from mental health issues in today’s society have become disconnected from the rest of the world. With the rise in technology people have become interconnected, able to speak to one another in the matter of seconds but for many this can lead to individuals being marginalised. Some people lose touch with their friends and family, distancing themselves from society which then can lead to mental health issues like depression.

Working with VoiceBox we have made it our aim to bridge the gap between vulnerable people with the rest of society, giving them the means to connect with people, make friends, be heard and most importantly feel a sense of worth and value. We are working with VoiceBox to provide vulnerable people with the technology to connect with others, share their story and find support.

Helping Create a Sustainable Environment

VoiceBox are also helping in our efforts to create a sustainable environment by collected numerous pieces of IT equipment for ourselves to recycle. Thanks to VoiceBox we have been able to recycle, refurbish and re-market the equipment, putting back into society affordable IT equipment and preventing any waste going to landfill.

VoiceBox Inc. believes that expression offers unlimited benefits to individuals and the wider community. They give people the power of creating a written article or film, sharing their story with the rest of society. Thanks to their platform individuals have access to a plethora of life-changing opportunities: a relief to get their feelings off their chest, words of encouragement from kind strangers, a sense of worth and value for providing something meaningful to the world.

Andes Mountains Hydro Power - Chile

Located in the Tinguiririca River upper valley, this Hydroelectric project is around 120km south of Santiago, Chile. Known as La Confluencia, the 163 MW run of river hydro power plant utilizes the hydrological resources of the Tinguiririca, Portillo and Azufre Rivers, in a run of river scheme to generate and supply zero emission energy to the Chilean central electricity grid (SIC). The power plant generates certified emission reductions (CERs) by displacing electricity generation from grid connected fossil fuel-fired power plants that would otherwise be generating electricity.

Environmental Sustainability

The primary objective of the proposed project is to help meet Chile’s rising demand for energy due to its economic growth and to improve the supply of electricity, while contributing to the environmental, social (job creation in the construction phase, and infrastructure enhancements in surrounding municipalities) and economic sustainability by increasing renewable energy’s share on the Chilean electricity consumption. The Project activity improves the supply of electricity with clean, renewable hydroelectric power while contributing to the regional/local economic development.

Social Development

Through the “Tinguiririca Participa” grant program, the project directly finances proposals presented by community organisation, in areas such as healthcare, education, and social change. In the first year of the program, the joint venture financed 11 projects, while today the number of projects surpasses 200. All of these initiatives are aimed at meeting community needs.

Flora and Fauna

In addition to social projects, reforestation of around 120 hectares around the site has been implemented, helping protect and improve the local flora and fauna, with a specific impact on local Tricahue Parrot, Torrent Duck, Freshwater Catfish, Torrent Duck and Freshwater Catfish species.
