For over 20 years, PeacePlayers has used basketball as a tool to show that peace is possible. We’ve cultivated a community of youth from diverse groups, giving them the skills and the confidence to act as leaders and change agents in their schools and neighbourhoods. Building lasting friendships among young people from communities with histories of conflict, our programmes teach young people the dynamics of conflict and how to overcome it, and most importantly, how to share this knowledge with others.

Over the past number of years, brave souls have taken to the icy waters of the Irish Sea to participate in PeacePlayers - Northern Ireland's challenge. This year, on our 9th annual #Freeze4Peace challenge, we're hoping you will join us, support us and give to help us reach our goal of £1,500. The money raised will help us to continue our work in becoming more sustainable in our effort to create safe spaces for young leaders to form friendships and become advocates for peace and justice in our community.
