Warrington Borough Council has confirmed that it will purchase the Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Peace Centre to support the Town’s young people with special education needs and disability (SEND).
The Peace Centre will provide a new local service for young people over 19 and additional support for the over 16’s.
The first project the Peace Foundation ran as an organisation was a project where we brought young people together from Warrington, the North and South of the Island of Ireland, on what was, at the time, called the Tim Parry Leadership Scholarship. The programme was about getting young people to talk about the differences they and their communities had and what
they had in common, finding ways of connecting and working together.
At the Foundation we deliver a range of programmes and initiatives aimed at promoting peace, conflict resolution, early intervention, and addressing the root causes of violence. Our educational programmes are designed for schools, colleges, community groups, and professionals working with young people. Our aim is to empower individuals with knowledge and skills to promote peace and foster social cohesion.
