About your mentor

CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service)

Peacebuilding through youth and community work

CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) aims to bring about peace and reconciliation in areas of conflict or tension. We have 60 years of experience helping communities in the UK, Cyprus, India, the Philippines, Northern Ireland and Uganda; with our current projects being in Northern Ghana and Brixton, UK. We help communities build futures free from violent conflict through practical projects that both tackle the root causes of the division and bring the sides together to build trust and healthy relationships. 11 years ago, we were invited to start a project in Brixton after an increase in serious youth violence. CHIPS engages in daily activities aimed at empowering underserved communities and addressing serious youth violence following the public health approach. Our activities support young people, families, and the wider community.

What we'll do

Join us for five weeks of fun, creativity and adventure this summer! Every Tuesday 12.00 - 17.00, we have our Young Enterprise Club (Y.E.C.) at CHIPS. This drop-in youth club gives young people a safe place to chill out, build friendships and explore issues important to them whilst playing board games and video games. On Wednesdays 10.30 - 14.30, young people can join our "Life is for Living!" project, a creative five-week project where young people will explore art, wellbeing and organic food growing whilst co-creating together a living art piece. Delivered in collaboration with "This is Progress", at the end of the summer, the fruits of their labour will be exhibited in Angell Town Community Garden! Finally, Thursdays will be for our weekly "Trips Off Endz" to do activities in other locations. Food will be provided every day and trips will start and end at CHIPS, Unit 7, Warwick House, Overton Road, Brixton, SW9 7JP. To reserve a trip spot, a £5 attendance deposit must be paid in advance to CHIPS. See below for more details!
