attending; and also one on the same
day at the Usher Hall, Edinburgh.
• In 2005 we helped to organise a
‘Positive Education’ conference at
the Pollock Halls in Edinburgh, also
with his Holiness.
• Our staff has expanded over the
years and we now have 4 full time,
6 part time and some amazing
volunteers.
• We now have a residential capacity of
34! Year by year we have continually
upgraded Allanton and are grateful
to all the groups and individuals who
have enabled us to do this.
• We run Forest School every Friday
morning in term time.
• In 2012 we co-organised an event
in Oldham with 1000 teachers and
children from 24 schools.
• We have written our own Education
programme for teachers:
‘Peace Prevails’
www.peaceprevails.education.
• Since 2017 we now have a very
supportive Advisory Board from the
local community.
• Every Wednesday we have a
Volunteers Day.
• This year is our 20th Annual World
Peace Festival. The numbers of those
attending has risen each year and
this year many of our friends and
colleagues will join us from around
the world for this celebration.
• 2016 saw the development of our
Peace Pole Henge. There are 200
Peace Poles, one for every country
of the world, linking the ancient
culture of this land to create a new
culture of peace for the future.
Celebrating our
20th Anniversary
I can think of many more – but too
many to mention in this article!
We will be holding two events this
summer (see adverts on opp. page)
The second ‘Soul of WoMen’
conference on Saturday 23rd June.
This is for Men and Women
‘How can we balance the masculine
and feminine qualities within
ourselves and take them out to our
communities and our world?’
And
20th International World Peace
Festival Sunday 24th June
Celebrating Community
Empowerment.
An event for the whole family –
celebrating our community and our
world.
We do hope that you can come to one
or both of these events.
Our website and facebook page
will be updated regularly with
latest information on these events.
Also information on Peace Poles,
Education, Flag Ceremonies and our
other activities.
Our gratitude to Sam Sparrow for
looking after our website for us.
Please get in touch if you would like to
know more.
May Peace Prevail on Earth.
