While participation in the event is free, we invite you to raise funds for peace building charities.
For over 23 years, International Alert has been the UK’s leading peacebuilding charity working in Africa, Asia and the Caucasus. We support local communities that have been affected by violent conflict to improve their prospects for a peaceful future and at the same time, work with governments and other decision-makers (e.g. EC, UN, the African Union) to improve policy and practice.When a war ends, the threat of violence doesn’t go away. And while insecurity remains, development work alone is not effective; you can build a school, but while children don’t feel safe they’ll be too afraid to attend. Only when there is peace, can a country take steps to lift itself out of poverty.
Concordis International is a British peace-building charity, currently working primarily on Sudan, both nationally and for the Darfur and Eastern regions. It works alongside those affected by armed conflict in the world, building consensus on the issues that divide and enabling them to create lasting peace and hope for their shared future
In every conflict there are local people building peace. Peace Direct funds and promotes their work.
The Centre is a unique place of meeting where people can explore the relationship between faith and conflict and engage with people from other faiths. It provides a safe place where people divided by conflict can establish fruitful dialogue. It is a pace where people can learn the art and craft of peace-making.
