True peace is not only peace with ourselves, but in our relationships, our communities and ultimately the planet.
While personal transformation is the foundation of a more peaceful planet, collective action is essential for long-lasting systemic change.
By volunteering, donating, or simply raising awareness, you can make a significant impact.Ā Below are some powerful ways you can contribute to creating a more balanced, sustainable world for both people and planet.
Organisations You Could Support

Focused on fighting climate change, 350.org mobilises grassroots movements worldwide to challenge the fossil fuel industry and transition to renewable energy sources.
Friends of the Earth
With a global network, Friends of the Earth advocates for environmental justice, social equality, and the protection of biodiversity. You can volunteer to campaign or join local initiatives.
Greenpeace
Known for their impactful direct-action campaigns, Greenpeace offers opportunities to take part in activism and raise awareness about environmental destruction, deforestation, and plastic pollution.
Extinction Rebellion
If you are passionate about using nonviolent resistance to drive system change, Extinction Rebellion works globally to hold governments accountable and drive systemic change in response to the climate emergency.
Community-Led Initiatives
Look into local sustainability projects or social justice groups in your area. Sometimes the most impactful actions are taken at the community level, where small steps toward change can create ripple effects.
Your Action Step
Reflect on which causes speak to your heart. Volunteering with these or similar organisations can empower you to contribute to systemic change while deepening your sense of purpose.
Remember, when communities of service come together, the destructive systems that dominate our world can begin to transform.
