The Convention - An evening for Gaza In aid of Shelter Box

About This Event

Join us for an evening of music and readings in aid of the nearly two million Palestinians who have lost their homes in the war in Gaza.

Award winning Palestinian author Ahmed Masoud will talk about Gaza, music from Nitin Sawhney & Wissam Boustany, readings from Sinead Cusack, Juliet Stevenson & Nina Sosanya among others, with Bruno Sorrentino showing extracts from his documentary 'Sumud' following a Palestinian farmer on the West Bank over 30 years.

We will also have testimony and speeches from those working for ShelterBox on the ground.

The humanitarian need is unprecedented. With a ceasefire now in place, the job of bringing relief to these families could not be more urgent.

The event at the Tabernacle, in Notting Hill on February 25, aims to raise money to provide 100 families with a Shelter Box kit that consists of a tent, waterproofing, bedding material, cooking equipment and hygiene products.

It’s a drop in the ocean, we know, but for four or five hundred people, most of whom have lost loved ones, it will mean everything that you’ve supported them in their hour of need.

Thank you. We very much hope to see you there.
