The Universal Peace Federation UK (UPF-UK) marked a historic milestone with its 20th Anniversary Charity Gala Dinner, held on 15 November 2025 at the Kensington Hilton in London. The event gathered Ambassadors for Peace, community leaders, partners, and long-standing supporters to celebrate two decades of UPF’s contribution to peacebuilding, interfaith harmony, sustainable development, youth leadership, and women’s empowerment across the UK and globally. Guests enjoyed heartfelt reflections, uplifting music, and recognition of partners.
The evening highlighted UPF-UK’s growth since its founding and its mission to promote “One Family of Humanity Under God.” Inspiring reflections were shared by Dr Michael Balcomb, President, Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) Europe and Middle East, an affiliated organization, Mr. Bogdan Pammer, President, FFWPU UK, and Mr. Robin Marsh, Secretary General, UPF UK, who each spoke about UPF’s evolution over the past twenty years, including its interfaith initiatives, community service projects, and global peace activities.
A special awards segment honoured individuals whose dedication has strengthened the Ambassadors for Peace network and advanced UPF-UK’s charitable work. Their contributions reflect the spirit of UPF’s founders, Dr Hak Ja Han Moon and Rev. Dr Sun Myung Moon, who envisioned a global movement committed to moral leadership, cooperation, and service.
To support the expansion of UPF-UK’s peace initiatives, the programme featured a vibrant auction and raffle, helping to raise funds for upcoming interfaith programmes, youth projects, and community events.
The Gala Dinner was not only a celebration of UPF-UK’s achievements but a reaffirmation of its commitment to interdependence, mutual prosperity, and universal values—the guiding principles that will shape the next chapter of UPF-UK’s mission.
