The UD Vocal Collective (also known as UDVC) is one of the most successful projects to emerge from UDHQ. Boasting such founding members as Labrinth, Talay Riley, ShezAr, the UDVC is all about providing young people from east London with an opportunity to gain new vocal, performance and song writing skills and access to the music industry.

So, becasue we're dedicated to continuing the UDVC legacy, we've entered the NatWest Community Force competition to win a £6,000 award that would mean we could do just that - all we need is YOUR support. Just place your votes (HERE) between 26 September – midday on 24 October. So please get clicking!
