Corporate Social Responsibility

After our recent, highly successful, “Be playful, be magical’ event, held in Delray Beach, Florida, we’ve been tasked with raising funds to develop several globally planned Legacy Peace Park projects. The first park will be based in Delray Beach, Florida.

The Legacy / Peace Parks will have a Music Education School, Peace House / Club House, 4 Multi-Sport Courts to accommodate Futbol, Tennis & Basketball, along with a 'Skills Circuit', Meditation Park and Community Garden, providing programs for children with disabilities during the day, as well as after school, and summer programs for disadvantaged youth and families in the community. 

"The sporting, music and arts communities have the power to advance humanity and to help ensure that all children everywhere have access to health care, education, protection and equality" 

Peace Matches

Community Peace Match, Paris, 2019

In 2019, the Football program was taken to France. The program was focused on the St Denis district of Paris, where young people often have to deal with gang violence, are subjected to isolation and radicalization, have limited opportunities to succeed in life and face barriers to employment. The program sought to bring together 25 girls and 25 boys to participate in a series of life skills workshops and take part in a community Peace Match. The initiative further promoted Republican values, liberté, égalité, fraternité. By bringing young people from different neighbourhoods  together the program sought to spread messages of unity and aspiration, giving young people the confidence that they can succeed.Peace Matches are mostly held in iconic locations around the world to raise awareness of Football as a force for good, promote dialogue and shine a light on Football for Peace’s community activities and projects’
