Families for Peace is an organisation campaigning against gun crime and gang violence, we aim to bring about the awareness of the effect of gun crime on families and the wider community.

Empower and equip young people for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.

The Situation
Over the last few years there has been a dramatic rise in gun crime resulting in the loss of many youths both male and female. We think it is about time we start to come together and tackle this problem before we have no youths left.

Families for Peace is an organisation for people of our community especially the young people. We believe that by offering the young people in our community positive alternative we can help them to live good productive lives, attaining their full potential in society therefore becoming good role models for the next generation.
