Should you wish to support us with funding or giving you time to support our work, please contact Dan Jones at the academy. There is always work to do on the trench and we welcome support from volunteers. We have developed exciting partnerships with local historians and avid World War One enthusiasts, David Vaux, Paul Jaques, John Smith and Tony Fox amongst others who are supporting us and bringing their collections and experience to us in order to enhance the impact of what we do. We are very keen to develop the “Vickers VC WW1 Trench” further. We would like schools to provide us with their outcomes so together, we can highlight good practice. We have also included examples of student outcomes where the trench has been the catalyst for greater engagement. We have developed this website to provide an overview of the programmes available and resources that can help pre and post visit including risk assessments to help plan your visit with ease. We are now looking to maximise usage of the OEAC and would welcome any schools or community groups to contact the academy. ![]()
