Against The Grain: part celebration of Garth Hewitt’s 35 years with Amos Trust, part online Christmas concert — Garth founded Amos Trust in 1985, to tell the unheard stories of the inspirational people he had met as he performed around the world and to raise awareness of their work and the issues they were responding to. Please join us as we say a very very fond farewell from Amos to our founder and friend.

Face masks |
£7.50 each or £6.75 for three or more
The Keffiyehs used for these face masks come direct from a textile factory in Bethlehem. Our friends at Holy Land Trust have taken the traditional Palestinian patterned scarf and formed it into modern protection against the global virus. The masks are made from soft, breathable cotton that keeps moisture away from the face. The traditional keffiyeh is black and white and these designs have been given a colourful twist to celebrate this iconic Palestinian pattern.
Struggling for gift ideas for that hard-to-buy-for relative? Why not give something that will make a real difference? Whether you choose to give the gift of clean water to a family in Nicaragua, sanitary protection for a girl in South Africa or a much-needed Christmas party to a child in Palestine, you can rest assured that your gift will change lives. Full details.
