The Sound Agents are working with Pine Court Housing to site the blue plaque for the forcibly deported Chinese seamen on no 19 Great George Street, a former Chinese Boarding House owned by Kwok Fong. Kwok Fong and his son Tony Kwok were present when Special Branch raided the Boarding House and took the men to the docks to board the ship.

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.
