What can we do to create peace in our city?
What small act of kindness has someone done for you recently?
Pop into Peace Hub to share it, say thank you and inspire others. Then pledge to pay it forward: choose a small act of kindness that you will offer someone else, to keep spreading the love.
Let’s celebrate the positive people, places & organisations that are already helping to make peace in our city and think about what we can all do to help our community.
As part of this theme we’re working with the West Midlands Violence Reduction Partnership – have your say on their survey, and meet the team on Weds 23rd & Weds 30th Aug between 12 and 2pm.
Pop into Peace Hub in August, September & October 2023:
- Share a small act of kindness
- Pledge to Pay it Forward
- Get top tips on dealing with conflict
