Local History Cafe

Our Local History Café is a community based heritage and wellbeing group aimed at tackling social isolation and loneliness though stimulating events, shared interests & stories.

We produce monthly newsletters.   These can be viewed and downloaded here.

We meet monthly sometimes with a speaker, sometimes to pursue shared projects.  Some members also volunteer with the Foundation, undertaking research, helping with collection management, supporting open days - as well as each other. 

In April 2021 we received a Highly Commended award under the Volunteer Team of the Year category at the Leicestershire and Rutland Heritage Forum Awards ceremony.
