Can you help people discover Leicester’s past?

 Are you a local history enthusiast? Could you use your knowledge to help other people learn more about our great city?

 Leicester City Council is looking for volunteers to lead guided walks around historic parts of the city.  The tours aim to help Leicester’s residents understand the city’s past, and the rich historical significance of buildings and monuments they walk past every day.

 “We’re looking for people with a passion for history who can bring the past to life for our city’s residents,” said Voluntary Action LeicesterShire’s Jim McCallum, who is helping recruit the volunteers. “Enthusiastic, knowledgeable volunteers can help people discover the past on their doorstep and make them see the city they live in from a fresh perspective.”

For more information come along to the Guildhall, Leicester on Saturday 12 November from 1.30pm to 2.30pm or call the Helpline at Voluntary Action LeicesterShire on 0116 257 5050.
