The charity was set up in 2006 with the following purpose:
To contribute to a society that can live in harmony with its values without the use of physical or emotional violence
• To focus on introducing non-violence and conflict resolution to all parties living and working in marginalised, ‘hard to reach’ disempowered communities.
• To teach non-violence and conflict resolution as a proportionate and safer response to disagreement and disputes among people who feel excluded, unheard or frustrated.
• To transform communities into a collaborative model of problem solving
• To allow access to mediation and mediation training to people who would not normally know of or be able to afford it
