Plus there is Age Exchange (
http://www.age-exchange.org.uk/), which is based in Blackheath, which does concentrate on
reminiscence work, but has undertaken a lot of intergenerational work and they have an established training programme and have produced some really useful guides.From: jocelyn goddard <[log in to unmask]>

Hi Hannah and all
The best place to start would be the Oral History Society.
www.oralhistory.org.uk where you can find links to advice and regional contacts.
There is also a useful document on HLF's site for anyone interested in planning a project involving oral history

I feel like I’m posting every other day at the moment so apologies for another request from me, I must be really busy!
I’ve been approached by a youth theatre company who want to incorporate some local oral history into their next production. I’ve offered to get a list of contacts together to deliver training in oral history recording and use. They’re putting an HLF bid together at the moment so there will be a budget but they’re keen to talk to someone about how much time will be involved etc. to help with their planning.
Please let me know if you can recommend anyone who has experience of training young people (16-23) in the recording and use of oral history and can work in London . Or if you know of any good ways to reach a practitioner (I’ve tried GEM’s freelancer list).
Thanks again for all your help and I’ll try not to bother you all for a while!
