Sampad is looking for volunteers with an interest in history to get involved in Virasat: Stories of South Asian Enterprise and Legacy, an 18-month heritage project exploring the remarkable stories of South Asian-founded businesses that have helped shape the West Midlands since the late 1960s.
Volunteers will be needed between November 2026 and January 2028, with the volunteering programme spanning approximately 16 months. We aim to offer flexible opportunities to get involved, depending on volunteers’ availability, interests and the activities taking place throughout the project.
There will be training and skills development and pre-agreed expenses will be reimbursed.
Sampad champions and celebrates South Asian arts and heritage across the Midlands, the UK and internationally. We produce world-class artistic programmes, we work with schools and communities and we lead on artist development. At Sampad we are storytellers, platforming narratives which are globally important and providing inspiring experiences for all ages and backgrounds.
