About Place for Hope
OUR HISTORY Founded in 2009 in response to increasing conflict within the
Church of Scotland, Place for Hope has grown from a small network of trained mediators into an independent charity that supports and equips faith
communities across the UK and beyond to navigate conflict and build peace.
OUR VISION is for a world in which all embrace the transformational potential
of conflict and nurture the art of reconciliation.
OUR PURPOSE is to accompany and equip people and faith communities so
that all may reach their potential to be peacemakers, able to navigate change
and conflict well.
OUR ORGANISATION comprises seventy highly skilled volunteer
practitioners, seven members of staff and six trustees. Our practitioners are
all trained in mediation, and each holds expertise in working within a faith
context.
OUR REACH currently means that we train around four hundred people in
conflict transformation every year, and support between fifty and a hundred
faith communities to navigate a specific conflict every year.
