Network for Peace
About us
 Network for Peace
was set up to continue the work of the National Peace Council, one of the
oldest peace organisations in the UK.
NfP is an organisation-based network, most
members are groups who are working for peace, disarmament, or similar.
Individual members are welcome, but we do not involve ourselves in organising
actions or events (apart from our annual meeting - held in the spring) so if
you are an individual who wishes to get involved in peace work, you may wish
to find out first if there is a group in your area you could join. Feel free
to contact NfP for details.
Our members are wide-ranging; from the
religious peace organisations; local and regional CND groups, small local
peace groups, larger national campaigning organisations such as Campaign
Against Arms Trade, a Development Education Centre, organisations actively
working in peace-making initiatives such as Tolerance International and Peace
Brigades International, older well-established organisations such as Women’s
International League for Peace & Freedom and newly formed groups such as
Peace School and Centre of Cultures.
We aim to keep members in touch with each
other - through a regular newsletter or email and through our website.
We aim to act as a contact point for queries
about peace organisations, peace education and training, actions, vigils, and
demonstrations, especially in times of crisis or emergency.
We may be able to help you find a speaker
for your meeting. See our page of NfP-affiliated speakers.
Members can have their leaflets and
newsletters displayed at conferences – NfP will on occasions attend major
conferences and run a stall, or will distribute a few leaflets on chairs at
meetings! Leaflets can also be enclosed with our mailings. Contact the office
for details.
We run an email list for members and
supporters to post their messages. To subscribe send a message networkingforpeace-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
Network for Peace is dependent on member
organisations to fund a worker for one day per week. (Donations are welcome!)
We have also received support from the Joseph
Rowntree Charitable Trust in the past. We do occasionally receive
donations from member organisations and these are always welcome. If your
group is feeling a little ‘flush’ at the moment or has received a windfall –
please consider spreading it across the peace movement with a small donation
to NfP!
