About Jo Berry

Jo Berry is a peacebuilder, founder of a Charity, Building Bridges for Peace, dedicated to understanding the roots of violence and terrorism and developing conflict prevention and transformation.

When Sir Anthony Berry MP was killed by the IRA during the 1984 Tory Party Conference, his daughter Jo was thrown into a conflict she knew very little about.

She made a commitment to go on a journey of understanding and in November 2000 met Pat Magee, the man responsible for her father’s death. They have since spoken together in prisons, schools, Universities, at peace conferences and recently for The Forgiveness project in the House of Commons
