Such a privilege to receive the award from the Restorative Justice Council for Significant Contribution Award to RJ. Thank you Jim, always a joy to speak about everything restorative with you!

Great to meet up with @JoBerry9 earlier this week and to present her with the @RJCouncil Significant Contribution Award. Jo’s decades‑long commitment to peacebuilding and RJ continues to inspire so many across our sector. An honour to recognise her extraordinary impact.

@maurimm Thanks! I will always remember meeting you in Sarajevo and then in Mexico! I am still working with Pat, we have a new documentary about us. Sending support and love

Les dejo este texto especial. Cuento la historia de Jo Berry y Pat Magee. El padre de Jo murió en el atentado de Brighton a manos del IRA. Pat fue el jefe operativo del IRA de ese atentado. Su trabajo de reconciliación es globalmente conocido. Los conocí hace varios años y los traje a México (aunque a Pat no lo dejaron entrar, pero como él me dijo en nuestro último encuentro, sí estuvo en nuestro país antes de ser inmediatamente deportado). Me pareció que valía la pena recuperar esta historia.

A deep dive into reconciliation at Southwark Cathedral, with @JoBerry9, Rebecca Brierley @StEthelburgas & @DeanSouthwark. How do we respond to conflict & difference? What opportunities do we have to resist harm? How do we make space for love? With a visit from @HodgeTheCat 🐾

[Jo Berry CBE @JoBerry9]

Special evening at Southwark Cathedral with the Community of the Cross of Nails and St Ethelburgha’s. A privilege to speak against hatred and the power of shared humanity. Plus a visit from the local cat.

Absolutely delighted to see Jo Berry - one of the co-founders of Survivors Against Terror - get a CBE. Jo has dedicated her life to peace & reconciliation after her dad was killed by the IRA- this award is hugely deserved.

Congratulations on your CBE @JoBerry9. We at SAT are so proud. What a wonderful recognition of this past 40 years of your love and dedication to peace building. Thank you for your tireless commitment to a more peaceful and understanding world.

[Jo Berry CBE @JoBerry9]

I am very excited and honoured to receive a CBE today, for my services to peace and reconciliation. It’s for everyone who believes empathy and dialogue can heal even the deepest divides. I'm also thinking of everyone affected by war and violent conflict. #CBE #Empathy #Peace

[Jo Berry CBE @JoBerry9]

I am thrilled to be speaking with Pat Magee on Friday the 16th of May in London. Still tickets left, I will talk about what happens when we demonise people, that’s how Pat could kill my Dad. Seeing humanity in others stops hatred and brings compassion. https://t.co/eX5kZBQ3rw
