We believe that heritage is a living practice, help us bring unheard stories to life.

Support us

At Rendezvous Projects, we believe that heritage is a living practice. People's stories shape the cultural memory of our communities, but without active efforts, many of these stories might remain untold. Through our work, we aim to present stories in new and inviting ways, to capture narratives that may have been forgotten, underrepresented or ignored.

Much of our work is voluntary and we only get funding for particular projects; in the meantime, we’re busy developing ideas, filling in funding applications and undertaking all the admin that it takes to run a Community Interest Company.

We need your support to continue the work that we feel is important. Whether it's through buying from our shop, volunteering your time, or making a donation, there are many ways you can contribute to helping us bring these untold stories to life.

Ways to support us

Donate online 

Your donations allow us to continue uncovering and preserving the hidden stories of local people and places. Even a small contribution can go a long way in supporting our projects and ensuring that we can capture these valuable memories. We believe in making history inclusive and accessible, and your support helps us do just that.

 

Buy from our shop

Our shop is filled with unique items inspired by the social history we work hard to preserve. Every purchase supports our ongoing community-driven heritage projects, helping us fund new exhibitions and creative initiatives. A lot of work goes into our products, they’re unique and limited edition, but we keep the costs low in order to ensure they’re accessible.

Volunteer on our projects

We sometime have opportunities for volunteering – usually as part of a project. As a volunteer at Rendezvous Projects, you could play a vital role in collecting oral histories, assisting at events, helping to spread our work through marketing or helping us with our community outreach. Whether you’re passionate about local heritage, interested in the arts, or keen to contribute your time and skills, we’d love to hear from you.

Tell people about our work

One of the easiest ways to support us is by spreading the word. Share our work on social media, talk about our projects with friends and family, or encourage others to follow us online.

By helping to raise awareness, you play a part in bringing more attention to the histories and communities we work with.

Share your story

We’re currently working on Sound Waves: Music in Newham, a project celebrating and preserving the rich musical heritage of the London Borough of Newham. We will document and present Newham’s diverse music history, focusing on venues and underrepresented communities over the past 60 years.

If you have memories, stories, information or photographs and other ephemera, please get in touch to let us know.

"Meeting new and local people was lovely and engaging in a spirit of tying our local history and acknowledging its unique importance was great. One of the most enjoyable aspects was reading the hilarious stories [that had been collected]"
