Peter Courtier was a young volunteer with a special interest in race relations. He played a pivotal role at Heathfield Resettlement Camp, where he managed a group of volunteers to aid the Ugandan Asians in 1972/3.
Ugandan Journeys is a three series set of video programmes to document the stories of British volunteers who aided the Asian migrants forced to leave Uganda by Idi Amin in 1972/3. The programmes further include testimonies from residents and people who worked in the camps.
This oral history project - British Ugandan Asians at 50 (BUA50.ORG) - is the production of the India Overseas Trust with the support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund. It is an integral part of British volunteering heritage and an extraordinary historical episode that helped shape
modern Britain's diversity.
