We are delighted to announce that Peace Direct has been selected for a BBC Radio 4 Appeal! A prestigious, weekly programme highlighting the urgent work of a UK-based charity.
This will be a wonderful opportunity to share our work with new people, and raise vital funds for local peacebuilders in communities around the world.
Tune in to Radio 4 on Sunday 9th and Thursday 13th August to hear from Peace Direct founder and triple Nobel Peace Prize Nominee − Dr Scilla Elworthy.
Scilla will speak to the urgent need for us all to help fund‚ promote and learn from local peacebuilders today. She recently told us:
“I’ve learned that we can all do something about wars and violent conflict in our world. We can directly support people who are actually living in conflict zones and help them to rebuild their communities. That’s why I started Peace Direct over 20 years ago.”
Hear more from Scilla when her message airs on BBC Radio 4 on Sunday 9th August at 7:54AM and 9:25PM, and again on Thursday 13th August at 3:27PM.
You’ll also be able to catch up via the BBC and Peace Direct websites from Monday 10th August.
