Were you or someone you know one of the first South Asian migrants to settle in Somerset, Dorset, Swindon, or Wiltshire?

We’re looking for elders from South Asian communities who moved to the rural Southwest 40 – 70 years ago, to share their personal migration stories for a powerful new heritage project.

Your story  whether of challenge, joy, isolation or community  is part of the living history of this region. We want to hear about your journey, your first impressions, your hopes and how you built a life in a new place.

The project aims to capture on camera around 50 first and second generation South Asian stories of people living in Somerset, Dorset, Swindon and Wiltshire. 

These stories will become part of a digital archive, inspire short films and be used in schools to help challenge stereotypes and promote understanding.

If you have access needs then please get in touch as we can offer transport. 

If you, or someone in your community, has a story to share – we’d love to hear from you.

Fill out the form below or give us a call 07500 686765

Let’s honour the voices that paved the way.
