02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We exist to increase knowledge of the life and work of Nelson Mandela, his links with Scotland, the struggle for freedom and non-racism in apartheid South Africa, support from Scotland for this struggle, and Mandela’s legacy and example of persistence, tolerance, reconciliation, racial and social justice, and mutual respect. Our work to this end involves creating a public statue of Mandela in Glasgow as an educational aid and prompter of enquiry, and disseminating information on all these issues, including with material for schools and a web portal linked to the statue, providing links to a wealth of relevant information.
