Thank you for visiting this JustGiving page raising money for Peace Brigades International UK Section.

We are over the moon that Bevis Gillett, one of our most loved and long term supporters, will be running the London Marathon for us this October - on 2 October, the International Day of Nonviolence

Running 26.2 miles is no small feat for anyone at any age, but at 80 years old, Bevis is taking on the incredible challenge to run for human rights, environmental justice, and peace.

Please consider donating (generously), and come along to cheer Bevis on as he runs for human rights!

About PBI

PBI UK is a world-leading human rights charity working to support and defend activists, movements, and communities who find themselves in grave danger simply for speaking out against injustice. Last year, PBI worked in partnership with 1,784 groups and individuals, who in turn work to ensure the rights of over 205,000 people. This includes Indigenous communities fighting for the health of spiritual lands , women seeking an end to gender-based violence , and peaceful communities resisting paramilitary presence in their land . Each day, these human rights defenders speak out for the rights of others. Each day they risk their livelihoods, their liberty and, in many cases, their lives.

No other organisation in the world supports threatened human rights defenders in the way PBI does. We stand alongside human rights defenders, we learn from them, and echo their voices. We keep them safe, and we work to ensure their voices are heard.

We provide life-saving support to community leaders and other human rights defenders in some of the most dangerous countries in the world, with field projects in Latin America, Asia and Africa.
