New Military Veterans Training for Peace (PEP)

Peace is more than the Absence of War. For some, peace of mind is not found so easily. We have training in order to prepare for war, but the Peace Education Programme (PEP) offers a different kind of training – how to prepare for peace!

Feel welcome to come and try these free video workshops at STOLL in Fulham at our friendly Wednesday Lunch & Learn groups for Military Veterans Only. Contact Nick Shatford (Stoll Health and Well Being Manager) on 020 7385 2110.
