Some proposed changes
I would like to revise the introductory section and add a new section entitled 'History'. Content will therefore need to be both removed from and added to the page. Please see below:

Canning House is a not-for profit and non-governmental organization dedicated to the discussion of social, political and economic affairs across the region of Latin America through research and debate. Founded in 1943, Canning House serves as a forum for debate and discussion of the current affairs of the region.[1] It brings together persons from a broad spectrum of backgrounds – business, politics, financial services, academia, the arts – who share a common interest in all things Iberian and Latin American. The Canning House mission is to be the UK’s leading forum for information, contacts and debate on Latin American politics, economics and business, and to celebrate and promote awareness in the UK of the languages, cultures and history of Latin America, Spain and Portugal.

History

Canning House is named after George Canning (1770–1827), British Foreign Secretary between 1807-1809 and 1822-1827, and briefly Prime Minister in 1827. Canning was a prominent advocate of the emerging republics in early Latin America and is a recognized figure in the region with several streets bearing his name. Canning House first came into being in 1943 with the creation of the Hispanic Council and the Luso-Brazilian Council simultaneously. Following the end of the Second World War, both councils were merged and the resulting entity was commonly referred to as Canning House. In 1973 the Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Council was registered as a limited company, and in 1997 Canning House was set up as a wholly owned subsidiary. Initial meetings took place at the Shell-Mex House before offices were set up in Berkeley Street in 1947. From 1953 until 2018 Canning House was based in Belgrave Square before moving to 126 Wigmore Street, where it can be found today.
