Mission: Toxteth TV through education, training & small business support will help foster a positive environment for the development of individuals and businesses.

What is Toxteth TV?
In association with Liverpool Community College we provide training and education for young people giving them skills that can lead to a number of progression routes both in education and potentially into employment.  We also provide office space for small media companies, community organisations and SMEs, aswell as providing facilities such as TV studio, training rooms and professional film equipment for hire. Our community film and arts work is extensive working with a range of young people aged eight to eighty.

What makes it different?
Toxteth TV focuses upon increased access for under represented sections of the community, in particular those young people who have been or have felt excluded from mainstream education or have under achieved at school. In this way it will open up career paths to those who would not otherwise have access to the TV and media industries.

Where is it?
Toxteth TV Studio is one of a group of buildings along Windsor Street including the old Mission Hall and the Old Windsor School site. The Studio is located on the site of the Old Windsor Castle Pub.

The Challenge came to an end on Friday 8th January with an event in Williamson Square to celebrate the million pound target of weight loss pledged being achieved.

As the official film makers of Liverpool’s Challenge Toxteth TV were there to record the celebrations.

Pictured is Beth Tweddle being interviewed about the campaign’s success.

The children who are all from Toxteth have started devising a play that will be perfomed in October.

Awards for All & Splendid Things are supporting this project.

As part of a series of community based film screenings, Tenantspin are proud to support the work of Toxteth TV.

Four groups of young people each worked with a different film maker to produce four unique films about the history of Toxteth. Featuring contributions from local people, historians Lawrence Westgaph and Steve Binns, politicians Michael Heseltine, Louise Ellman and Edwina Currie and singer Gerry Marsden. L8A provides a unique insight and exploration of events, buildings and people that have helped shape the area.

The films will be preceded by an introduction by Liverpool Historian Laurence Westgaph.

The Florrie

The Florence Institute was officially opened as a boys’ club in Mill Street, Toxteth, in 1890. Today the Florrie stands, derelict, but not forgotten. We meet the people whose lives were shaped by the Florrie. We examine its past and look forward to its future.

Little Jerusalem

Take a walk up Princes Road and you will see why it has been referred to as a ‘Walk of Faith’. Exploring St Nicholas’ Greek Orthodox Church, Princes Rd Synagogue and Al Rahma Mosque we see what sets them apart and what binds them together.

Now and Then

For some Toxteth is still defined by the events of 1981. How has it changed? Has it changed? We look at Toxteth today and explore the legacy of 1981.

Blackburne Place

What are the origins of Blackburne Place? Who was John Blackburne? What was his legacy? These are the questions posed in this film as we examine a street’s relationship with its past.

L8A provides a unique insight and exploration of key events, buildings and people that have helped shape the area. The Heritage Lottery Fund has supported the production of these films. Entry is free, but please book tickets in advance.

‘A beautiful read’ Kathy Burke Director & Actress

‘Under the Mud’ is a unique collaboration between a group of teenage first-time scriptwriters and Liverpool-based production company Hurricane Films.

After two years of workshops, the young writers produced a funny, bright and compelling script, which acclaimed actress and director, Kathy Burke described as ‘a beautiful read’ – advising them not to ‘change a word’. The film stars Drew Schofield (Scully) and Kate Fitzgerald (Brookside), and features stand up comic Keith Carter along with a host of talented new comers to the silver screen.

Shot in and around Garston, Liverpool – an area of chronic unemployment with one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in Europe – the action takes place during hectic twenty-four hours, and centres around the Potts household – second home to teenage slacker, Magic, who’s such a part of the furniture that his longing for the eccentric beauty Paula Potts goes completely un-noticed. To the love of his life he’s just her twin brother’s best mate.

With the family set on a course of self-destruction, aided by an old enemy of dad’s – and Paula arguing with her imaginary friend about running off to Ibiza with the local slime-ball, Magic realises that he only has a few hours to save the family, get the girl and change all of their lives forever.

The Irish Premier of the film is at the Foyle Film Festival 16th November 2006 at The Nerve Centre

Its Gala Charity Screening in Liverpool will be at the Royal Philharmonic Hall on Friday 9th February 2007
