Why Peace & Social Justice?
We all want a world where we can feel safe, happy, and play our part. ‘Peace & Justice’ means making that world a reality: one step at a time.
At Peace Hub we believe that a just & peaceful world is possible if we work together. If that sounds like a world you’d like to be a part of, we’d love to connect with you!
And if it all seems a bit daunting: don’t worry, we’re here to help! You can be part of the community however much (or little!) time and energy you’ve got available.
How can I take action?
Actions that you can take part in range from signing petitions and writing to your MP, to supporting efforts to make peace and build justice and sending messages of solidarity. When many individuals take action together, it adds up to make a big difference.
Peace & social justice is a broad umbrella, but everything we do aims to:
- Start a conversation about peace and justice,
- Affirm the humanity of others,
- Provide opportunities to take action.
Community
There are lots of organisations in the West Midlands, the UK and globally, who are doing great work for peace & justice. At Peace Hub our aim is to seek out and highlight this work.
As well as promoting the work of other peaceful and just organisations, we’re keen to work in partnership with groups in the West Midlands who are working for a better world.
If you are interested in finding out how we could work together, please get in touch.
Our Parent Charity: Central England Quakers
A Quaker Organisation
Peace Hub is a Quaker organisation – we are led to take action by our faith.
But we’re not exclusive! We’re happy to work with people of any faith (or no particular faith) who are in sympathy with our call to act for peace and justice.
Partnership
Our Sister Organisations
We work closely with other projects of Central England Quakers.
The West Midlands Quaker Peace Education Project (Peacemakers) are based at Peace Hub, on the 1st Floor. They work in partnerships with schools to help them build more peaceful communities by delivering training to adults and children.

Our Focus Group helps develop the content for Peace Hub work and provides guidance on issues and groups for Peace Hub to work with. This is envisaged as a ginger group: ‘an active or galvanising group within a larger organisation or body.’
