Signals Essex Media Centre Ltd

Who we are

Signals Essex Media Centre was established as a film and video workshop in 1988. It has since developed into a centre for filmmaking and digital learning.

Signals has a significant positive impact on peoples’ lives by encouraging creativity, developing skills and raising aspirations through digital production and education. Signals promotes diversity, creativity, innovation and achievement in digital arts, through working in partnership with other organisations, artists, educators and project participants.

Signals works across the region but with a primary focus on Essex. Signals is committed to facilitating equality of opportunity and enabling people to reach their potential.  It seeks to work with communities that have less access to creative, digital and learning opportunities. In recent years Signals has delivered projects in areas that have been identified as having less cultural access and are areas of high community need as identified in Essex County Councils Levelling Up Strategy.

Our culture and values

Signals programme is based on collaborative production, working with people, sharing knowledge and experiences.  Creating environments for exploration, learning, play and experimentation where positive change can happen. Delivering courses, projects, events and workshops, Signals is expert in community engagement, supporting new learning and creative activity.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.

The organisation - in providing goods and/or services and/or facilities - is also committed against unlawful discrimination of our visitors and beneficiaries.
