“The First World War affected millions across the globe and shaped the world we live in. The Centenary is a chance to understand the war better, uncover its stories and explore what it means to us today. Everyone should have the chance to discover more about the war and mark the Centenary. That’s why we are providing this special grant programme for community projects.” Heritage Lottery Fund
