Juliet Kilpin, co-founder of Peaceful Borders writes:
We had a wonderful celebration of 10 years of Peaceful Borders on Saturday 24 January. We enjoyed stories, conversations, music, a photographic exhibition, and amazing home-cooked Syrian, Sudanese and Iranian food. The children created their own exhibition too! Amott Road Baptist Church hosted us wonderfully.
It was a rare occasion when our whole extended team was together, with many of our family members who have supported us along the way - Simon, myself, Samer, Ali, Mautasim and Joseph and Rachel from the Calais house. It was beautiful to see everyone making new connections.
We launched our 2025 Annual Report which you can view here. And there is a summary A4 sheet here.
This event also hoped to raise funds and various people donated via the website. Some pledged to share the Annual Report with potential funders who may have a mission/outreach/charity budget line they can put Peaceful Borders in! Perhaps others of you can do the same? We currently only have funds to employ Samer, Ali and Mautasim until the summer... and as you can see from the report, they are a small but mighty team who do way more than we are able to pay them for.
