A civic reception is being held to mark the 20th anniversary of Manchester charity Mines Advisory Group (MAG), being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
The charity was co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for being a founding member of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. The landmark campaign spearheaded by Princess Diana aims to rid the world of landmines, cluster munitions and unexploded ordnance.
In honour of the charity a reception will be held at Manchester town hall on Thursday 12 October.
Since its foundation in 1989, more than 17.5 million people from over more than 40 conflict-affected countries have benefited from MAG’s work.
