The project aims to give voice to ‘untold stories of volunteering’ by employing a cultural animation methodology to ensure that such stories are co-designed and co- produced with and by volunteers and other interested stakeholders. We explore the potential implications of such untold stories of volunteering for individuals and communities via a documentary drama that will be co-designed, co-produced and co-performed by the participants in three locations across the UK.
