It shows how through evaluative processes such as academic and community partner Shared Experience Workshops, and community-focused Reflection Workshops, the historical, social, cultural and economic benefits of the centre can be highlighted.

These lessons in evaluation can be taken forward to inform future national commemorative moments, such as the centenary of the Second World War.https://www.scienceopen.com/document?vid=a4395da2-d0c3-435e-b0f4-2c62032a5a37
