We at BSWN are excited for this new project. Right now we are in the process of recruiting a project coordinator on a contract basis to deliver on the project along with recruiting volunteers and interviewees to participate. The Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) has a long history in the Southwest of England. Yet, little is actually written about that history outside of the major cities. We hope to fill in these gaps with the oral histories we will collect from members of various BME organizations in the areas of Bristol/Devon, Gloucester, and Plymouth/Cornwall. Take a look at the “Opportunities” we have available to get involved in the project in the left hand column of this blog. If you are interested get in contact with us.
