How can I help?

Our fundraiser relies on our community coming together in order to be able to make a Plum Village centre in the UK a reality. Your time and energy now will make a difference for generations to come.

Six ways to help found a centre for peace in the UK

2. Become a major donor

If you are in a position to support us with a major donation, a legacy in your will or a friendly loan, your contribution could make a transformative difference for the centre.

3. Engaging your Sangha

Order flyers & brochures to display at your local Sangha. Come together to discuss how you can raise funds for the practice centre.

Collectively, we can build a Plum Village centre for peace in the UK.

4. Start your own fundraiser

Take part in a sporting event, set yourself a challenge, celebrate your birthday, organise a bake-off or benefit event with your local Sangha, or use your creative skills to make art - there are many ways to raise funds for the Being Peace Centre!

5. Organise a Sangha Share

Easily share a skill, offer homemade jams, crafts or surplus items you no longer need in return for a donation to Being Peace through our “Sangha Shares” fundraiser. Download our one-page explanation for how to use this lovely and easy idea from Cambridge sangha member Joy.
