PeaceMaker / About Us  
 

OUR PEOPLE

As PeaceMaker is a Company Limited by Guarantee, all of our trustees are now either a Director or a Secretary of the organisation. As we are also a registered charity, none of these posts receive financial reward in any way. Many members of PeaceMaker’s board of directors were originally involved with the founding of the organization as young people and have maintained their connection and continued to support PeaceMaker in its work. PeaceMaker prides itself on being young person led and oriented and in recognition of this invites two of the young people involved in PeaceMaker projects a seat on the board of directors. Currently these places are taken up by Josie Tyas and Anneli Halliwell.

Mentors and Project Assistants

PeaceMaker provides opportunities for young people to develop their skills and confidence. All of our Mentors and Project Assistants were originally involved in our Peer Education programmes. They are now involved in the development and delivery of many of our programmes of work. We feel it is important to have ambassadors who promote our work within the communities in which we operate.


Volunteers

Our work is supported by a pool of volunteers who contribute to the organisation at all levels. Throught its history PeaceMaker has been supported by avolunteers from a diverse range of backgrounds. We firmly believe in the concept of active citizenship and continuously look for opportunities for people to become involved in our work.
