Voices of Change and The Hackney & Newham History Social Club
We're not just telling stories; we're giving voice to those who have lived them.
What is Voices of Change
Between June 2023 and 2025, we have been gathering the stories of people who have come to Hackney and Newham from all parts of the world, capturing their contributions to making our boroughs what they are today. From single parents and carers to entrepreneurs, artists, and health professionals, we recorded 30 oral histories of people from various walks of life, which are now being stored for future generations and available to listen to at Newham Archives and Hackney Museum and Archives.
Some stories have also been included in our history and heritage podcast, The Hackney and Newham History Social Club.
Voices of Change and The Hackney and Newham History Social Club were made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund - and the incredible support of our volunteer Production Club.
