Cultural Workshop Volunteer

Help people share their stories, explore local heritage, and discover what it means to belong.

Leicestershire is shaped by generations of movement, migration, and settlement. Making Leicestershire My Home is a new cultural outreach programme that uses museum collections, creativity, and conversation to explore stories of home, belonging, and connection across the county.

We are looking for friendly, curious and caring volunteers to support community workshops taking place primarily in Oadby & Wigston, North West Leicestershire & Hinckley. Join us in creating welcoming spaces where participants can explore museum objects, share their experiences, take part in creative activities, and connect with others.

This is a fantastic opportunity to handle Leicestershire’s historic collections, meet people from diverse backgrounds, and reveal unheard stories that deserve to be celebrated.

You do not need experience. Please share with us areas of personal interest, knowledge or experience that you want to develop or bring to the role so we can craft and enriching and meaningful role with you that supports the workshops in being more engaging, accessible and inclusive in your application.

If you enjoy meeting people, listening to their stories, and helping people feel included, we would love to hear from you. You will receive training and support, develop new skills, gain experience in community engagement and cultural outreach, and enjoy behind-the-scenes opportunities within the heritage and cultural sector.
