Impact Report 2020

2020 was a difficult year for Waterloo Uncovered, as it was for people all around the world. Unfortunately, the global pandemic meant the cancellation of our annual excavation in Belgium. As a result, the team had to work hard and think creatively to adapt to the evolving situation, in order to continue providing much needed support to those who had served their country.

As a result, the Virtual Programme was created: an online block of educational content and friendly discussions, embedded within a wider programme of welfare support. Read about our first Virtual Programme, the engaging online lecture series we launched over the summer, how we celebrated the 205th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo and much more in our 2020 Impact Report.

“HAVING THE WU PROGRAMME IN 2020 WAS FANTASTIC BECAUSE YOU FELT LIKE YOU HAD YOUR FAMILY AROUND IN THE HOUSE. THEY WERE THERE IF YOU DID FEEL DOWN AND YOU FELT LIKE YOU DID NEED SOMEBODY TO TALK TO – THEY WERE THERE FOR YOU.”
