Norwich HEART Volunteers

20/11/2015

Thank you to the hundreds of volunteers who have helped with Norwich Heart projects, events and festivals over the years! We could not have done it without you :) HEART will now be handing over the baton, with our main projects being taken on by partner organisations. More info at www.heritagecity.org. Thanks again for helping people discover more about our history.

Our volunteer community research group, the Colman's Detectives, have been hard at work for the last year on the project. All their research has come together to form an exhibition at The Forum, Norwich, 2-13 November, and a new book (5 Nov).

Come along to the exhibition and discover the stories and real-life experiences that the Detectives have uncovered - the mustard workers’ roles on the front line, the impact of the war on women, families and workers on the home front, and the part Colman’s played in the war effort.

If you'd like to help out at either of these events, with ticket checking and general event supervision, please contact Madeleine Coup on [email protected] or 01603 599570.

Hello lovely HEART volunteers! We hope you're all well.
You may be interested in a new community project: Colman's Connections - an intergenerational community project, which is kindly supported by Heritage Lottery Fund.

The Colman’s Connections project, from Norwich HEART and Colman's Mustard Shop & Museum will focus on the history of Norwich’s mustard workers during the First World War, revealing engaging real-life stories about the firm’s employees and how their lives were changed by the conflict. The project is is also supported by Norfolk Record Office, Norfolk Library and Information Service, The Forum, Norwich and Unilever Archives.

HEART is looking for enthusiastic adults, of all levels of ability, who have done little or no historical research before and would like to access training by becoming Colman's Detectives.
