Hope Flowers was nominated for The Coventry Peace Prize in 2010 and we are pleased to report that it was the highly commended runner-up. The Very Reverend John Irvine, Dean of Coventry Cathedral, said: ‘Those shortlisted have made a demonstrable and practical improvement to the well-being of communities, especially in conflict and post-conflict situations.’

Well done Ibrahim and Hope Flowers. Ibrahim Issa, co-director of Hope Flowers is planning to visit the UK in spring 2011 when he will collect the certificate on behalf of the school.
