​

We are a non-political organisation, run solely by volunteers in the UK. Like so many, we continue to be appalled at the senseless loss of life and suffering of people in Israel and Palestine and we condemn in the strongest terms all violence against civilians on both sides.

We are delighted to announce a recent partnership with Child Smile in Gaza. We are funding them to run six series of drama workshops with children aged 9 to 12 or 13 to 16. The culmination of the workshops will be two one-day open days where family and friends are invited to see the outcomes from the workshops, and themselves be involved in activities. A respite from the horrors of war.
Together, we can make children smile.

Storytime, art and face-painting: psychological first aid

The area where we are building a playground, in Burin

Burin, in the West Bank, has a partially completed playground and PfPUK sent the funds to complete it. We are delighted that despite the conflict, the playground, imported from Turkey, arrived safely and is now being installed. We hope to have photographs soon.
