By Fay Pretty | PeaceJam UK Coordinator
With the support of our GlobalGiving donors, PeaceJam UK makes peace accessible to youth and when you empower a young person to take positive action, you invest in their whole community.
For example, in August, Matty, from the PeaceJam UK Youth Leadership Team, and with Bradford Culture Company, organised and led a Peace Picnic in Bradford to mark Hiroshima Day. 228 people joined PeaceJam UK in Wibsey Park for this free family event to explore ‘what peace means to us’. You could add a message to our peace tree, help us decorate the peace symbol, learn about nuclear disarmament in our quiz, take part in a peace scavenger hunt, weave a peace pledge into our picnic blanket, chat all things peace, community and care with the People's Care Movement, or make a placard for peace with amazing local artist Amy. It was such a meaningful day, working with local Bradford community members, with peace and community at the heart of all activities.
With your continued support we are currently planning our next community event, our PeaceJam Manchester Slam. Join us on March 20 2027 for our third annual Slam at Manchester Communication Academy. Our Youth Leadership Team are currently exploring themes around youth advocacy and how the next generation can ensure their voice is heard when it comes to today’s most pressing issues.
We are also so excited to share our full 2025-2026 Impact Report with you that covers our last academic year of events as well as all of the other important work we do, made possible by the support of you, our PeaceJam community. Thank you for empowering the next generation of changemakers and investing in local communities across the UK. You can find our report attached below.
