About BPEC

BPEC is now a registered company (number 6166971), thanks to the pro-bono (free) work by Simmons & Simmons.

Charity status is underway.

For clarity, the organisation will be both a charity and a company ~ there will only be one organisation. The current BPEC “association” will be closed down when the charity status is through.

Benefits of charity status:

BPEC runs a coach service to and lock ups at Glastonbury Festival and raises about £7000 unrestricted income for the centre every year. Other sources of income include membership fees, other fundraising events, ticket sales and project funding.

BPEC ' s projects have been kindly supported by:

The Department for International Development (DfID)

Oxfam

London and South East Regions Global Dimension (LaSER GD)

Local Network Fund for Children and Young People

Brighton and Hove City Council

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.
