Children of Peace

What Children of Peace does

Children of Peace is a UK-registered non-partisan charity (Reg. Charity Number: 1112301) founded in 2003 with non-profit status achieved in 2005, operating from registered offices in Hereford and Uckfield. The organization functions as a grant-making intermediary that funds arts, education, health, and sports programs serving Israeli and Palestinian children aged 4 to 17, deliberately positioning itself as non-partisan to maintain trust across both communities. Grant funding is structured into discrete tiers: a Small Core Fund Grant of up to £2,000, a Small International Fund Grant of up to £5,000, a President's Special Award of £5,000 or more (with 14-day fast-track approval), and Standard Project Grants ranging from £2,000 to £20,000 per annum over one- to two-year terms. Affiliate eligibility requires 24 months of standing within the Coalition of Peace, the largest peace network across the Middle East and North Africa, which connects independent CBOs and NGOs principally in Gaza, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, and the West Bank.

The organization operates no proprietary technology. Distribution and fundraising are conducted through a diversified channel stack spanning organic social media (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube), email newsletters, JustGiving personal-event pages, the GiveAsYouLive Shop and Give affiliate program, trekking and challenge events via Dream Challenges, the Paul Haines Peace Walks, student-led fundraising, and creative talent appeals. Notable program offerings include the Razan al-Najjar Nurses Bursary for Gazan nursing students (delivered via the Palestinian Nurses Association and Islamic University Gaza), the Youth Ambassador Programme coordinated by Director of Mentoring Sally Becker, the quarterly Peace Child publication for Coalition affiliates, and the annual London 10K Run. The organization's stated cumulative impact is reaching over 20,000 children since founding.

Children of Peace is led by Founder and President Richard Martin, with a trustee board that includes professionals from BBC, academia, journalism, and education. Its revenue model relies entirely on individual donors worldwide; the organization explicitly states it receives no income from governments or international bodies. Strategic partners include the Peres Center for Peace, Hand in Hand for Arab Jewish Education, the Palestinian Nurses Association, UK-MED Gaza Response, UNICEF, JustGiving, GiveAsYouLive, and Dream Challenges. Headcount is 9 employees, consistent with a lean operating model that depends heavily on volunteer trustees, goodwill ambassadors, and a network of affiliated grassroots organizations to execute its mission.
