VOLUNTEERING TO MARSHAL AT THE SMALL PARK BIG RUN
Thank you for offering to volunteer to help us put on small park BIG RUN, a joyous community event and a celebration of Palestine. We are now in our 8th year. Without our volunteers the event cannot run: its success depends on you helping it be a welcoming, inclusive and event safe for all.
spBR is a unique, fun, 24-hour running community challenge in Meersbrook Park, Sheffield we raise awareness of and funds for women’s education and children’s mental health in Palestine.
The situation for Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank has deteriorated terribly since October last year. Aside from the awful killing - in Gaza over 31000 people have been killed among them over 12000 children - the destruction of civil and cultural life has been overwhelming. The International Court of Justice has found it plausible that Israel's acts could amount to genocide.
By participating you can display solidarity, empathy and friendship with the people of Palestine, help give them strength to continue resisting and send a message that people of conscience around the world have not forgotten them.
The funds we raise will now be needed more than ever. Details of how to fund-raise for these projects can be found here.
