Professor Mihaela Kelemen (PI) and Dr Anita Mangan (CI), KMS/RI for Social Sciences and Humanities, have been awarded an AHRC follow on grant (£90K) for Phase 2 of their project entitled 'Untold Stories of Volunteering: A Cultural Animation Approach'.

Working closely with volunteers from Staffordshire and beyond and other stakeholders involved in volunteering, particularly the New Vic Theatre and the National Council for Voluntary Organisations, the project co-designs and co-produces untold stories of volunteering coming from a variety of sources: 'voluntolds', professional volunteer managers, disabled volunteers, Roma volunteers, volunteers with bad experiences and corporate volunteers including civil servants and MPs.

A documentary drama will be performed at the New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-under-Lyme, the Richard Attenborough Centre for Disability and the Arts, University of Leicester, and the Houses of Parliament, London.
