We are looking for women who would like to be interviewed as part of the Alice Hawkins Heritage Project. Based on the inspirational story of Leicester’s suffragette Alice Hawkins, the project aims to celebrate and cherish women’s right to vote, right to freedom, right to equal opportunities and to quality of life.
100 years on from Alice Hawkins’ courageous fight for women’s rights, the LeicestHERday Trust are looking to recruit approximately 150 women to discover and document the experiences, achievements, challenge and triumphs of women in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland over the last century. More »
Do you have an interesting heritage you would like to share with our young people? Have you or anyone in your family had to overcome barriers or obstacles in life? Have you had to fight to achieve equality? Could other people be inspired by your struggles?
Your story could be made into a lasting record for generations to come!
We are looking for people from all walks of life to share their stories with a young volunteer. The stories collected will enable young people to make connections with their own circumstances and help them to understand the importance of life events and decisions, inspiring and motivating them to understand the rights of citizens of all gender and cultural origin, linking our heritage with the future.
The completed archive – including Alice’s story - will be showcased by the county and city record offices and at the Leicester Mercury and BBC. The stories collected will be recorded in a variety of mediums including dance, drama, radio, video, artwork and oral history. If you would like to share your story but wish to remain anonymous, that’s fine too.
Whatever your story, we would love to hear from you. If you are interested in taking part, please contact Lara Thomas on 0116 2575615 or email lara@leicestherday.org.uk
