5HCV was a projected funded by Manpower in the 1980’s. 5 HCV was a local community video service for the Hospitalised, Housebound, Handicapped, and Hard of Hearing. An off-shoot from hospital radio, 5HCV was a voluntary organisation who, in conjunction with the Recreational Service’s Video Production Unit (RSVP), made a weekly video tape featuring local people and local events and information. These tapes were distributed around local hospitals, community centres, and to the housebound.
