Peace Centre
The Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Peace
Foundation was set up after the IRA
bombing of Warrington in 1993,
which took the lives of Tim Parry
aged 12, and Johnathan Ball aged 3.
Out of that awful tragedy, something
truly unique was created when we
established the Peace Foundation,
named in honour of the boys.
On March 20th, 2000, the 7th
anniversary of the bombing, we
opened our iconic Peace Centre, where
so much of our vitally important work
is carried out to help young people,
victims of terrorism and communities
in conflict. The Peace Centre is not
only a permanent living memorial to
the boys, but also a multi-purpose
building with a range of facilities,
including a games area, sports hall,
residential quarters, our Hope Café,
conference facilities and meeting
rooms.

Bienvenido a The Peace Centre
We recently welcomed a charming group of 10-11
year-old students from IES El Palo Junior School in
Málaga, Spain.
They stayed with us for 10 days whilst discovering
all the gems that the North West has to offer, from
the Roman Walls in Chester, all the way to
Windermere in the Lake District.
“We keep coming year after year and our ten-day
stay at The Peace Centre is always a happy
experience to look forward to.”
