Our vision is to hold constructive dialogues with local authorities and third parties to find sustainable solutions to preserving historic sites that benefit local communities whilst also enabling the public to continue to enjoy these locations. In doing so, we seek to facilitate more awareness of the Napoleonic Wars, their impact, and their legacy.
