Brighton Peace and Environment Centre:
'Inspiring action through learning about the world'
Now in our 28th year and having recently been awarded awarded charity status, we have reason to celebrate.
We are partnered funded by Oxfam, Department for International Development (DfID), Local4Global and Brighton & Hove Council. We also receive support from our members and donors, without which, we would not be able to run our day to day activities.
Mission Statement
The Brighton Peace and Environment Centre aims to raise awareness and understanding of social justice, peace, sustainable development and environmental protection matters by providing information, education and positive practical solutions to global problems.
