Mentoring Opportunities!

We’re putting a call out for volunteers for our mentoring project! 

Looking to start the week after reading week, we want volunteers to engage in one-on-one mentoring with secondary school students. Check out this document for more info. You will need a DBS check and be able to commit to a minimum of 4 sessions over 4 weeks. 

This is a great opportunity for volunteering experience that’s also a fantastic way to share your passion for history with others and gain great experience for your CV. Please email here or DM us on Instagram with any questions!

Forge Valley School Visit, 20th February 2023

In February, HinC headed to Forge Valley School to run a Hands on History session. We worked with three groups of year-7s, all of whom were really engaged with what we had to say! This session was focused on the 20th century home, with a partiuclar focus on homes in Sheffield. We got the pupils to think about the ways that home life has changed over the past 100 years and what signs of the past are present in their home!

If volunteering is something you are interested in, keep a look out on our social media in the academic year for more information!
