ESEA: East and South East Asians
Voice ESEA is an educational non-profit driven to uplift and educate about ESEA voices in the UK.

AS FEATURED ON
OUR PARTNERS
As a team of volunteers with backgrounds in engineering, law and museum curation, we pride ourselves on the creation of spaces for safe discussion on topics of 'belonging'.
​
We started in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, in active response to the rise in hate crimes against the ESEA community.
​
​To uplift ESEA voices, our team works across three pillars:
- Quantitative Research
- Events: Community Development
- Journalism (in partnership with Resonate Voices and Tan's Topics)
Voice ESEA is driven to support ESEA communities across the UK. So far, the team has bases in Manchester and London, and offers training to volunteers similarly keen to enable change in their region.
Our Team
Collectively, our team hold three things in common:
-
A drive for sustainable top-down societal change for the ESEA community,
-
Strong, constructive and honest written, spoken and remote communication skills- enabling the development of data-driven education resources and incredible community events,
-
Creativity- to ideate and collaborate on a range of projects with varying partners.

We value:
01.
Communication, for community
​
Voice ESEA strives to be a safe space for education and discussion, no matter the perspective or background. We acknowledge that echo chambers are difficult places to ask honest questions in, and we attempt to find ways to incorporate an evidence-based approach to our educational materials, for the greatest chance of sustainable community development across the UK public.
03.
Integrity
We aim to recruit volunteers who are engaged, and align with our culture of commitment, honesty and openness. We also look to ensure our engagement policy takes into consideration the principles of the organisations with which we work. Co-founded by a team of multi-disciplinary professionals, we hold our output to a standard that aims for as much balance as possible.
Impact in 2026
Fundraising and Feedback
Voice ESEA Ltd is run by a team of dedicated, but unpaid volunteers who bring their experience in corporate and creative sectors to their tireless volunteering hours. Each research project, event and resource is compiled with money raised from the last project, event and partnership development effort.
​​​
We have 2 great products, a reliable team and a respected, balanced voice.
In 2026, Voice ESEA wants to apply to more official fundraising avenues to further our impact.
​
With our data-driven resources and approach to supporting top-down change, we believe in a future where ESEA history in the UK is normalised as part of school history curriculums. Through our ESEA Data Project, we envision a world where police jurisdictions can standardise their approach to hate crime data management, and can justify prioritised, geographically-focussed community support. Through Voice ESEA's creation of safe spaces for discussions of belonging, we see a world where our niece and nephew's generation never need to question their belonging.
