“My mother taught me how to be able to celebrate Palestine by welcoming guests to have our food. So, cook Palestinian wherever you are, because you are part of preserving that culture and telling the world we exist.” Fadi Kattan

Host a Supper Club for Palestine this Summer
A Delicious Way To Fundraise
Host a Supper Club for Palestine this summer, share Palestinian-inspired dishes and raise funds for Amos Trust’s vital work in Palestine.
Join us as we honour Palestinian culture by bringing friends, family, or your local community together for a meal as an act of cultural resistance that supports our Gaza and West Bank appeal. Whether it’s a cosy dinner at home or a bigger gathering at a venue, it’s a simple but powerful way to stand in solidarity with Palestinians.
How it works:
“Where politics has been the tool for Israel to divide us, culture has been our tool of uniting ourselves... and that’s why it’s really important for the solidarity of our friends to understand that, we are not that self-centric that we want to eat hummus all the time, but it has become a way of resilience and looking inward to ourselves, putting a nice warm jacket on ourselves by keeping participating and celebrating the cultural element of the Palestinians.” Mahmoud Muna — The Bookseller of Jerusalem

Unless you were living on Mars this summer, you’ll be aware that the Alrowwad Youth Theatre from Palestine toured the UK – visiting and performing in London, Edinburgh, Bristol, Leeds and Derby. Amos friend and home rebuilder Sarah Baron spent time with the group in Scotland.
“I know that to do what I have done is a privilege and a luxury. And that is why it had to be done. I don’t have loads of money, but on Saturday I had enough to make a choice.” Palestine Marathon runner and Amos friend Rachel Wakefield writes about a not very typical day in PC World.
“Omar chuckles as he quotes Spider-Man: “‘with great power comes great responsibility.’ It’s tough to have something to fight for”, he says, still laughing, “but it’s very important… You have to be generous with your art.” Jacob Moreton writes about his encounter with the Galilee Quartet.
“And we walk past so many cemeteries – Commonwealth graves with dignified beauty, the ordered lines of headstones, flowers and commemoration stones for so many soldiers regimented but unknown, beautifully tended but rarely visited.” Amos Director Chris Rose writes about the first 30 days of the Just Walk to Jerusalem.
"Our apology for the impact of Balfour on Palestinians, our rejection of Theresa May’s decision that the British government would be celebrating Balfour and acknowledgement that we had no right to promise this land to another was broadcast live on Palestine TV and set in motion a press onslaught that would follow us through the rest of the walk." A Just Walk reflection from Amos Director Chris Rose.
For Amos, Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions has always been very straightforward: if a government refuses to acknowledge international law and to deny basic human rights, then we have to pursue the non-violent means available to us – to challenge this situation." Amos Director Chris Rose writes about the BDS call against Israel.
"This year marks the seventieth anniversary of the Nakba. It is a sentence that a lot of people will read over the coming months and may choose not to delve too deeply into." Loosely based on a real-life character still living in Gaza, 'The Shroud Maker' is a dark new satire, telling one woman’s story of survival.
