WMS

WMS is an award-winning conflict resolution and training provider. For over 20 years, we have been helping people to navigate through conflict towards peace. Each year, we work with hundreds of people across the UK and internationally, providing mediation, individual coaching and training services. Our fee-paying work helps fund our free services, offering support to those in need.

Why the community needs us:

Many people who are in conflict feel isolated, trapped and alone. Mediation helps people to come together and hold a difficult conversation in a safe and supported environment. It models good communications and empowers people to find shared solutions to the issues they face. Through our mediation service we help to build an open, integrated and united community. By using local volunteers we demonstrate that the community can be part of the solution to addressing the issues it faces.
