Since 2015, Waterloo Uncovered has brought veterans and serving military personnel on archaeological excavations at the Waterloo battlefield in Belgium. Beneficiaries work alongside a team of archaeologists, historians, volunteers, and students in a supportive environment, whilst making remarkable discoveries that have radically changed our understanding of the battle.
Beneficiaries of all abilities learn archaeological skills, from digging to metal detecting, whilst participating in meaningful activity. Prioritising mental health and wellbeing, it fosters connections between veterans and serving military personnel, both UK and international, archaeologists and students, with our experienced Wellbeing & Support team always available.
