Fundraising for our partners in Palestine in 2024
This summer we will be fundraising for Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA) our long term partner in Palestine and once again for Gaza Sunbirds.
Amidst the ongoing attack on Gaza, MECA team and partners are providing emergency assistance to families who have fled their homes to seek shelter with relatives as well as procuring emergency medical supplies for hospitals and clinic.
Watch this video showing MECA in northern Gaza. Right now the focus is on meeting the immediate needs of children and families. In the long term, this project will reduce the children's risk of disease and malnutrition by addressing basic needs for food, medical care and adequate shelter that could impact their development and long-term health
Alaa Al Dali, the founding Sunbird, is on his way to the Paralympics - a beacon of inspiration to all supporters of Palestine.
The fundraiser this year will be split between their work on the ground in Gaza and supporting the team in their quest to represent Palestine.
Solidarity with Palestine and The Big Ride
Raising Solidarity with Palestine In Unions & Organisations
We encourage riders and supporters to raise solidarity resolutions in their unions, community groups and party wards. The 2024 Big Ride resolution
here gives us the opportunity to raise the issue of Palestine with the organisations we are involved in as well as raising funds to support low income riders and help keep our rides happening..
