THE Warrington based Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Foundation for Peace has launched its Christmas fundraising campaign as it prepares for another year of growth.
The Foundation’s #ShareThePeace campaign aims to encourage members of the public to share the joy that Christmas brings between those they buy for, and in doing so, for no extra effort or expense, help the Foundation to expand its unique work waging peace in 2017.
Run on online shopping website, Easyfundraising, there are more than 3,100 shops on board with the Foundation’s campaign, including Amazon, John Lewis and Sainsbury’s.
Fundraiser, Jonathan Levy, said: “This enticing new campaign of ours is a fantastic and really easy way for anyone and everyone to get involved in supporting what we do.
“Creating peace, resolving conflict and breaking the cycle of violence is about mobilising a movement of people who want to see change and this is a fantastic and really easy way for anyone and everyone to get involved in raising unrestricted funds to support our ambitions for the coming year.”
The charity was set up following the IRA bomb attack on Warrington on march 20 1993 which claimed the lives of 12-year-old Tim Parry and three-year-old Johnathan Ball.
