Vision Statement

As Quakers we are called to act for Peace and Justice. Peace Hub seeks to inspire an inclusive community to take up this call.

We aim for Peace Hub to become a Quaker service to the public that Birmingham and the Midlands are proud to have. We hope that Peace Hub will become a service to which people naturally come when wanting to act for peace and justice, and provide support for networks of peace-makers.

Priorities & Objectives

Priorities:

Working with & supporting other groups committed to peace & social justice, through outreach, inreach & networking;
Organising peace events & activities that build on this partnership work;
Taking people on a journey from passive to active in this peace work.

Objectives:

Encouraging Quakers and the wider public in the region to work on peace issues, specifically around the agreed priorities.
Developing links and working with Quaker, other faith and local community groups through whom to promote and act on the agreed priorities.
Maintaining links with Peacemakers, and exploring opportunities for working with children and schools linked to the agreed priorities.
Organising in-person and online peace events and activities that fit identified priorities for action.
Developing an ‘activist journey’ that supports people who have not taken action before to take action for peace.

This vision statement is a working document that will develop with Peace Hub, in light of experience and guidance.
