More about our projects

From Cyprus to Northern Ireland, The Philippines to India, Uganda to Ghana and Tottenham to Brixton, we live among the communities we serve, taking time to understand everybody’s perspective and working together in very practical ways to build trust and hope. Peacemaking requires patience!

Our two current projects are based in Brixton and Ghana

Brixton is bursting with energy, but it’s also a community struggling with inequality and serious youth violence. Since 2014, we’ve been working with young people and their families to break the cycle of violence and help build a brighter, more peaceful future.

In Northern Ghana, opposing tribes have been enemies for more than 30 years. Since 2011, we’ve been living and working among both sides, delivering practical projects that address the root causes of tension, bring opposing sides together and help to build new, positive relationships.

More about us

We are Christians, serving the whole community from all backgrounds - and from all faiths or none! Inspired by the life of Jesus, we have four deeply held beliefs that underpin all we do:

WE ONLY GO WHERE WE ARE INVITED. We believe that we should only go where people want us. Peace cannot be opposed upon communities in conflict. WE LIVE IN THE HEART OF THE CONFLICT. We know we must live among the communities we serve, if we are to understand their challenges and work together to overcome them. WE TAKE SIDES. BOTH SIDES. We take time to understand everyone’s perspective, and help them build new, positive relationships. WE’RE HERE TO STAY. We know that making a long-term commitment to communities in conflict is the only way to build sustainable, lasting peace.
