Story
Starting at London Waterloo, this amazing ride will take our cyclists through the English countryside, beautiful Netherlands, and the fields of Flanders, finishing at the iconic Lion's Mound Memorial on the Waterloo Battlefield. Every mile (250!) promises breathtaking coastal views and historic landscapes, all for an amazing cause.
Waterloo Uncovered is the groundbreaking charity combining a world-class archaeological project on the Waterloo battlefield with expert veteran care and recovery. Each year they continue to grow and expand our scope of work, all while using archaeology as our primary tool to improve the wellbeing, education and recovery of veterans and serving personnel, many of whom have experienced mental or physical impacts from their service.
Their most important fight isn't in the military - it's finding peace afterwards
Today, the charity runs four unique Veteran Support Programmes, all of which feature year-round support from our experienced team of Wellbeing professionals. Their programmes have helped hundreds of veterans and serving personnel transition into civilian life, exploring new interests, education and employment opportunities in a friendly and supportive environment.
We get history and archaeology, but theres a huge wellbeing and support environment as well. it has boosted my self-confidence. I feel accepted, I don't feel disabled, I feel enabled - Lisa, 2022 Excavation Participant
Every £ donated will help Waterloo Uncovered provide support for more Veterans & Serving Military Personnel, and not only the exploration of the past but building promising futures for those who have served their country.
