About the Role
Community Story Collectors Wanted! Full training provided. Limited places available. We are looking for volunteers for our Willow Court Farmhouse Memories Project. Volunteers will receive training to conduct in person interviews with residents and former residents of Boycot Farmhouse and the surrounding Westlands Estate.

You will work alongside professional oral historian Julia Letts, receiving free professional training and helping preserve the fascinating recent history of a local landmark. Amazing opportunity to learn new skills, meet new people, get free professional training and work with a small team to uncover memories of Boycot Farmhouse and the early days of the Westlands estate. The project will run from March to September 2025.
