Organisation
Arts & Heritage UHL

UHL holds a massive collection of objects, documents, photographs, medical equipment and artefacts that tell the history of Leicestershire’s healthcare since the LRI was established in 1771. In those 250 years things have changed, and in living memory the NHS was established.

Through this project, we enabled young people to take ownership of this story by selecting objects from our collection to tell the story of Leicester’s hospitals so that they become the stewards for this incredible organisation in the future.
