Croydon’s first Festival of Peace is coming next year from 16th to 23rd of June and will comprise a number of events including performances of a specially commissioned Anthem of Peace.

I spoke to Katie Rose at The Paxton Centre about this and how we can all get involved by taking part and pledging as little as £2 towards the crowdfunding page. I also spoke to Josi Kiss about the plan for a Peace Garden in Park Hill Park.
