The pandemic may have Postponed the festival but it wont stop us spreading peace and love

Please continue to check on friends, family and the wider community. It’s so wonderful reading how so many people are already offering help and support to those during the Coronavirus situation on various community groups . Your acts of kindness and selflessness are a welcome break from the endless negative stories of panic buying and fear currently taking over Facebook.

Peace in the park is totally run by volunteers.

Time to meet some of our volunteers! Here is Jenny’s Peace in the Park story:

“I was involved in Peace in the Park in its very first year in 2003, and have helped in some way for most of the years it has happened. Be it face-painting, collecting money on the day, postering, raising money in advance through fundraisers, organising stalls or campaign speakers for the stages on the day.

I love the festival as it reminds me that there is a huge and loud beating heart of peaceful people in Sheffield. It has been amazing to meet and work with people who also believe a different world is possible, and who are up for throwing their energy, imaginations and a whole lot of time into the mix to produce an awesome day for soooo many people. I love festivals and dancing too.

Thanks to all those who gave to “the Grow your Tenner campaign” on LocalGiving. It may have finished but you can still Give.
