The Stoll Foundation is the leading provider of housing and support services to vulnerable veterans. Founded in 1916 by theatre impresario Sir Oswald Stoll to house severely disabled WWI veterans, The Stoll Foundation has provided a sanctuary to help veterans rebuild their lives for over one hundred years.

In 2025, The Stoll Foundation was awarded a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant to undertake a heritage project entitled ‘Veterans’ Voices: 100 Years of Housing Heroes’, exploring the rich history of our charity, including our large archive.

The Stoll Foundation is seeking cataloguing volunteers to assist in the cataloguing and preservation of the Foundation’s historic documentary, film, photographic, and object archive. The archive is the documentary and photographic record of the Foundation’s activities from its creation in 1916 until 1986, including governance, tenant selection, building maintenance, and tenant medical details for the period when The Stoll Foundation provided medical services. It has been stored, uncatalogued, with Hammersmith & Fulham Libraries since the mid-1980s. We recently received National Lottery Heritage Funding to catalogue the archive and extract
stories of the Foundation’s history to be used in workshops with our residents and those local to the Fulham area.

If you would like to apply, please express your interest via email to heritage@stoll.org.uk. As this is a long-term, ongoing project, applications are welcome at any time between 01/06/26 and 01/05/28.

To discuss this role further, please get in touch with Heritage Project Officer Dr Olivia Baskerville at heritage@stoll.org.uk.
