The Sound Agents received an invitation to the Service of Celebration and Commemoration with the opening of a Garden of Reflection by Princess Anne on the 26th May 2023, for helping Louise Watt identify and invite leaders of Chinatown and the descendants of the forcibly repatriated Chinese seamen in 1946. The families were delighted to hear an acknowledgement of the deportations during the service.

The Sound Agents promote public understanding and access to communities by recording the personal and everyday experience of Liverpool life.

The purpose of the organisation is to work inclusively with people from under-represented communities to provide opportunities to share stories using the Arts as a tool for communication.

Working outside the structure to bring together older people to pass their skills on to the younger generation by working creatively to share talents, experience and enthusiasm to bring people together to improve health and well-being and create opportunities for young people to get involved in Socially Engaged practice.
