R-Voice was created for young people in care; in collaboration with Bristol City Council, Reconstruct and the Children in Care Council - who were involved throughout the design process and continue to be active as part of the editorial team.
The web site has been commended for it's "look and feel" and "relevant content for young people" by the Office of Children's Rights Director.
"R-Voice is amazing! It's got a really good design, which we children helped create and it's got everything you could need to know about being in care, and most important of all it's got my Blog!"

Barriers Direct
We've helped Barriers Direct grow into one of the UK's leading suppliers of barriers, bollards and street furniture. We've created an extensive eCommerce store with thousands of products and implemented lots of functionality including user accounts, discount schemes and feeds to external shopping sites.
Our proactive account management team create and manage ongoing email and social media campaigns and the site is evaluated continually with user and A/B testing.
Go Places To Play
Go Places To Play helps young people and parents throughout Bristol find safe places to play. All the city's playgrounds and green spaces can be found through a postcode search or using the interactive map and there's photos of each site - allowing users to check up on the facilities available. Feedback forms also provide the opportunity to contact the council about individual play areas.
"We are delighted with the Go Places to Play web site and have received a lot of positive feedback about it. The team at Focus understood our requirements and have produced an engaging look and feel for the site - including the logo which we use in other marketing campaigns."
Les Compton, Deputy Head of Youth and Play Services
Bristol City Council
Puzzled Out
Created in collaboration with our friends from Cernis and on behalf of the NHS, Puzzled Out is an online consultation tool for young people to use to provide feedback on the CAMHS services that they receive. This data is then used by participation groups, services and commissioners - giving them access to what children and young people think of their services and how they can be improved.
