Finds in the Community Programme

The Finds Programme brings the archaeological objects excavated on the Waterloo Battlefield to veterans and serving military personnel in their local community. Over the course of six workshops, beneficiaries will learn key skills from leading archaeologists, whilst handling unique discoveries from the battlefield. Beneficiaries will also connect with local heritage, gaining knowledge of a range of techniques shown to improve wellbeing and build confidence to engage with heritage. The programmes is scheduled to start in late May and will run until mid/late June 2026.

Contact: Liam Fitzgerald, Programmes & Impact Officer, l.fitzgerald@waterloouncovered.com

We are therefore requesting Expressions of Interest from individual beneficiaries and referral partners over the coming weeks.

Our innovative programmes provide access to the archaeology and heritage of Waterloo, support recovery and wellbeing, and in turn, enable beneficiaries to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to engage with heritage.

If you feel that you, or a beneficiary, would benefit from this type of activity to support their wellbeing then please get in touch with the programme lead highlighted above.
