Stamford Peace Walk

Eleanor is an active member of her community in Stamford, Lincolnshire, UK.

She is privileged to have many friends in the local area who are like-minded and appreciative of the arts and humanities, well-versed in international affairs and unafraid to speak out against injustice.

Eleanor has joined forces with local friends including our local Methodist vicar Andrew Hollins, Grace O'Halloran, Marleni Hill, Bo Mellor, Kath Burrows, current Mayor of Stamford Amanda Wheeler, iconic social enterprise change-maker George Hetherington and many more. Together, they have a core group to lead the monthly Peace Walk through the town centre - and would love to have more people so if you want to meet others that care about injustice, simply show up any time between 9.30am and 10.15am and you will receive a warm welcome as you join the walk.

Here is some information about why we are walking together.

  • We are all connected by our dismay at the injustices playing out worldwide and feel that the general western media presents a biased view of what is happening 'on the ground'. We want to share true stories of real humans in placed afflicted by injustice and oppression. We cannot be the voice of the voiceless but we wish to contribute time and care to raising these voices so that others can listen and be better informed.
  • We are not affiliated with a particular group and have no hidden agenda.
  • We do not hold placards supporting proscribed groups, regardless of our personal feelings, so we are not in contention with the Police. You will not be putting yourself in any form of risk by walking and standing with us. 
  • We walk quietly and peacefully, holding banners and posters with messages of peace and thought-provoking statements, similar to what you would see from Amnesty International.
  • Sometimes we play gentle music as we walk. We do not shout or use megaphones. We do not deliberately draw attention to ourselves. 
  • The environment is welcoming to people of all ages, all religions or none, all genders and all nationalities. You do not need to give your name or any personal details, you can simply join in on the walk.
  • We are not affiliated with, or are against, any particular political parties. We simply spread messages of truth and peace. We aim to shine light on lies and corruption within governments around the world, not to distress people but simply to inform people.

Sometimes people within our group may be working on specific fundraising efforts and events. If you have something along these lines to share or promote, simply bring your flyers along and we can share information between ourselves and with the general public.
