Firefly International For children affected by war

We support locally-led projects in Bosnia, Turkey, Syria and Gaza that create safe, supportive and inclusive spaces for young people to learn, thrive and grow. Through artistic and educational programmes, our partners, Svitac, Firefly for Syrians and ACTI and IMET2000 (in Gaza), provide young people with opportunities and support to develop their skills, confidence and networks, improving prospects for brighter futures for themselves and their communities.

✨ What does peace mean to children?

In our Fireflies for Peace workshops, children told us:
Peace means feeling safe.
Peace means kindness.
Peace means having friends.
Peace means not being afraid.

Their words inspired this project.

Fireflies is more than a song. It’s a way for young voices from Scotland and Bosnia to share their hopes for a kinder, safer world — together. 🌍🎶

We’re building a movement led by young voices - and we’d love you to be part of it. Find out more on our website, if you are a school or choir please get in touch to take part!

💛 We are ending the year feeling incredibly grateful 💛

This year, our supporters amazed us with their generosity, creativity and kindness — proving there are so many ways to support children through Firefly ✨

🏃‍♀️ From running half marathons
🐶 To fundraising through puppy sales
📚 Writing and donating book proceeds
🎤 Hosting pub quizzes and school concerts
🎨 Volunteering professional skills
🕯 Honouring loved ones through in-memory collections

Every fundraiser, donation and act of support has helped children access creative lessons, safe spaces and learning opportunities they wouldn’t otherwise have.

To everyone who gave time, energy, ideas or funds — thank you. You are at the heart of everything we do 💛
