Beyond Victory Panel: Destruction, Restoration and Commemoration at Religious Sites
Discover the rich history and lasting impact of Christian Aid in this captivating photographic exhibition.
Christian Aid’s work began in 1945 when they were founded by the British and Irish churches to support refugees in Europe following the devastation and upheaval caused by the Second World War. Ever since, the charity has worked around the world to overcome the injustice of poverty and tackle its underlying causes.
From spearheading the Jubilee 2000 campaign that led to the cancellation of more than $100 billion of debt owed by the world’s poorest countries to forming the Southern African Coalition that helped end Apartheid, this photography exhibition shares some its most memorable moments as the charity celebrates 80 years of impact.

Beyond Victory season
This event is part of the Beyond Victory season. On VE - or Victory in Europe - Day in May 1945, Westminster Abbey hosted thanksgiving services every hour, welcoming an estimated 25,000 people. Join us this May and June as we unpack life beyond victory, with a season of events about rebuilding society and the legacy of conflict.
