Aim

Christmas fundraiser, donate for a chance to win original artwork


Solidarity is a Verb fundraiser.

Faiz Abubakr, Hafifa Ahmed, Hamza Ashraf, Finn Dobson, Seanna Doonan, Omer Elnour, Saba Siddiqui have generously donated artworks for a fundraising exhibition in support of Medical Aid for Palestinians, Leeds Asylum Seekers’ Support Network and UN Crisis Relief Fund for Sudan.

We'll update the page with photos of the artworks in the show.

How does it work

Every £5 donated will get you a ticket. The more you donate the more are the chances to win an original artwork.

We wish winners to take away the artworks on the day. IMPORTANT: 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭. 

People in the UK can donate and we will ship the work, we can't send the artworks outside of the country, so come visit us or ask a friend to bring it over :).

We will withdraw the money raised and make 3 even donations to:
