Our Projects
With the help of our generous supporters, volunteers, and funders, we engage thousands of people through our innovative projects, providing opportunities to explore the legacy of the people, architecture, and heritage of the two World Wars.
Our projects encourage participation from a wide range of individuals, communities, and partners. We actively involve young people through our work with schools, colleges, universities, and a variety of youth groups.
We aim to inspire everyone we connect with to learn more about the CWGC and increase their understanding and appreciation of the relevance of its role - both today and in the future.
Our staff and volunteers are passionate about sharing the narratives of the men and women who are commemorated in cemeteries and on memorials worldwide and, by ‘keeping their stories alive’, we ensure their legacy is not forgotten.
The Legacy of Liberation marks the 80th anniversaries of several pivotal moments during the Second World War.
