The Friendship Force of Derbyshire is part of a world-wide network of over 350 clubs in 57 countries whose mission is to promote world peace and understanding by creating an environment where individual friendships can be established across the barriers that separate people. It does this primarily through an extensive program of homestay exchanges.
Since the founding of Friendship Force International in 1977, nearly half a million volunteer Ambassadors and Hosts have participated through 3,300 exchanges, touching the lives of more than two million people, and the means for accomplishing its mission has expanded considerably, as new relationships uncovered new possibilities.
The Friendship Force of Derbyshire was established in 1982 and is part of the UK network of 19 clubs with around 700 members. We normally host two or three visits each year of between five and seven days each, and send Ambassadors to stay with other clubs two or three times each year.
