As a community of people committed to the art of peacebuilding, we seek to value and enrich the contribution and gifts of everyone involved with Place for Hope. In order to work collaboratively, we recognise the value of having clear roles and responsibilities. We strive to operate within interconnecting circles, where each part of the organisation provides overlapping, important and distinctive contributions to the whole. We invite everyone to be part of this peacebuilding community. Join our Peacemakers Network – there is more information here.
