In partnership with the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), the Centres will support community First World War research projects, connecting academic and public histories of the First World War as part of the commemoration of the War’s centenary which begins this year.
A key focus of Voices of War and Peace and the four other Engagement Centres will be to provide UK-wide support for community groups funded through a range of HLF funding programmes, particularly the new £6m First World War: Then and Now community grants scheme. Voices will be looking to extend links with the diverse programme of community activities being planned to commemorate the centenary across the UK as well as developing international links.
We will add information about community projects and research here, as it becomes available over the next few years.
