Chris & Peter
The Peace Barriers Programme was launched in 2012 in six interface areas in the North of Ireland, funded by the International Fund for Ireland. Our programme focuses on the Bishop Street–Fountain interface.
It delivers confidence and relationship-building work, social-economic improvement and capacity-building within and between interface communities – helping residents reach a position where they feel it is safe and appropriate to alter, declassify or remove peace walls and other conflict architecture in their area.

Coffee carts and The Coffee Trailer – available to hire.
Bouncy castles, marquees and party hire.
Based at Pilots Row in partnership with Hive Cancer Support, More & Less aims to do “more” for the environment using “less” plastic.
Bring your own containers to refill dried foods and household items. Buy only what you need – cutting cost, waste and single-use plastic, while raising awareness of the impact of harmful chemicals on our health and environment.
