Finding the Peace Fund

In response to recent UK riots and protests, Redeeming Our Communities (ROC) and Welcome Churches have united to promote peace, healing, and reconciliation in affected areas. The ‘Finding the Peace' partnership aims to show how love can overcome fear during these challenging times.

Together, we are launching collaborative projects that foster cross-cultural understanding and contribute to neighbourhood peace. These initiatives will include community listening, celebrations, and welcoming newcomers. As we rapidly develop the ‘Finding the Peace' initiative, we seek support to help bridge divides and foster unity in our communities. Your generosity is crucial to helping more communities find lasting peace.

Your support is needed to help communities to find the peace we all need for the long term. 
 
To resource communities to adapt to these challenging times, we are seeking support to help Christians bridge divides and foster unity in their neighbourhoods, enabling them to respond effectively to these unique circumstances. We have currently identified 48 communities who were particularly at risk of riots and protests whom we could offer support to. 
 
The first £5000 we receive in donations will be match funded by a generous supporter. Double your impact by donating today!

Gifts made to Stewardship in support of ‘Finding the Peace Fund' will be split equally between ROC (roc.uk.com) and Welcome Churches (welcomechurches.org). Donor contact information will be shared with both charities, unless donors choose to support the initiative anonymously.

The partnership between ROC and Welcome Churches is designed to empower local people to identify and address the root causes of challenges within their communities. Together, our charities are dedicated to facilitating meaningful connections and fostering a deeper understanding of these issues, enabling residents to find and implement effective solutions.

With your support, we can initiate Listening programmes, provide training and development opportunities, and establish working groups that will create actionable solutions. Our goal is to ensure that everyone in the community feels safe and has the opportunity to thrive.
