The Scottish Peace Platform (SPP) is a groundbreaking initiative funded by the Scottish Government to connect, coordinate, and amplify Scotland’s vibrant peace sector. Guided by principles of feminist, inclusive, and independent peacebuilding, the SPP aims to increase the collective impact of its members’ work and to create opportunities for strategic engagement in peacebuilding activities, both within and outside Scotland.
The SPP is a growing group of diverse Scottish organisations and individuals focused on peace. Our members work across different levels of peacebuilding and peacemaking, including academic institutions, civil society organisations, individuals, international non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and others. Visit our ‘Membership’ page for more information.
The SPP is jointly facilitated by Beyond Borders Scotland (BBS), a non-partisan organisation for global dialogue and peacebuilding, and peace and conflict resolution experts from Edinburgh Law School (ELS).
As a new network, the SPP’s inception period took place between March and September 2025. Launch activities, including a webinar and AGM, will take place in Autumn 2025. More detailed plans for the SPP’s areas of focus and first activities will be shared in Autumn 2025.
