We're still collecting donations
On the 8th March 2024 we'd raised £1,108 with 26 supporters in 42 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Our aim is to bring Christians together to join peace marches and protests for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

On the 8th March 2024 we'd raised £1,108 with 26 supporters in 42 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Additional monies raised will also allow to continue the project for a longer period of time, and to plan for the future.
We know there are thousands of Christians in the UK who support long-term projects for peace and prosperity in Palestine and Israel, and many more who have been horrified by the bloodshed in the current war, and who want to speak up. But we were struck by the lack of a co-ordinated and visible Christian bloc at the national marches for Palestine. We want to show the strength of our solidarity and increase our visibility to encourage others to join us and to show those from other faiths and none that we are not looking away.
Working with and alongside many churches and organisations, including Sabeel Kairos, the Quakers, Pax Christi and others, we are organising and co-ordinating Christian individuals and groups to march together both on the national marches, and around the UK. We will not stop until the bloodshed stops.
We are all volunteers, and we have funded our banners and other costs out of our own pockets. We are now seeking £600 of funding to purchase other banners, print placards, buy a megaphone, and reach out to more people across the country.
Since we are a grassroots movement, not a registered charity, the money raised will kindly be held for us by St John's Church, Waterloo (a Church of England parish church in London).
