Stepping Stones with Peter Booth

Peter was a scholar from a state primary school and attended Manchester Grammar and Durham University. He was due to join the Royal Anglian Regiment but was blinded in a car crash aged 21. After years of surgery he reinvented himself focusing on education, fundraising and charity directorship work. He has raised over £42 million for good causes. He has undertaken roles as youth leader in different churches where he has endeavoured to provide opportunities for them to embrace values and be who they really are. He is currently an author.
He comes from a Christian family, was head chorister and a member of the church youth group. He discovered his true faith that it was not belief but knowing that God, The Creator, exists. It was when he was totally blind and critically ill God spoke to him. He said “Peter you will see again not much but enough as I have saved you for a purpose”. The first person he saw after 18 days, was the beautiful girl he was taking to a party and she cried with joy. That is why he is a Christian. God was there.
He became involved in politics to give all people a government that was accountable to them and he has given all people the voice to represent them.
Despite having many close friends from across the world and Europe and being educated in Paris he understands however that the EU is a total betrayal of the European people, creating a continent that is governed by an unaccountable autocracy. The EU is German focused creating massive social strife and is a betrayal of the brave people who fought and died to make Europe free and it is accountable to no one.
