I set up the 'Play for Palestine' Programme to raise much needed funds for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. 100% of ticket sales from these sessions goes directly to PCRF, providing urgent humanitarian care to Gaza's children. Other class providers have come on board to raise money for the PCRF, as well as other charities in aid of Palestine, such as Gaza Kinder Relief and Walk for Gaza.

The aim of Play for Palestine sessions is to create a playful space for families to come together and show solidarity. Many families are unable to attend marches, demonstrations or evening fundraising events, and these can be logistically tricky to navigate with young children in tow. PFP sessions offer a space for families to connect and children to play. They also provide a community of support - to lean on each other, to learn from each other. 💛

There are many class providers joining in with the Play for Palestine Programme in communities all over Ireland! If you are a class provider for young families, from music and dance to messy play and art, and would like to get involved, please get in touch!

The PCRF is a legally-registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization established in 1991 by concerned people to address the medical and humanitarian needs of Palestinian and Arab youths in the Middle East. We have provided thousands of children life-saving care based on their need, not on religion, gender, nationality or sect.

The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run international, volunteer medical missions to the Middle East, in additional to locating free medical care abroad for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East. The PCRF  is the main organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North and South America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is not available to them there. Since 1991 over 1,000 children have been abroad for millions of dollars of donated care, and over 10,000 have had complex surgery by our visiting medical missions to the region. The PCRF has been awarded the top 4-star rating by Charity Navigator for fiscal management, while being able to treat more kids than any other charity in the Middle East.
