The East Berkshire branch of Palestine Solidarity Campaign will be holding a cricket match at Burnham Cricket Club on Tuesday, June 18.
The event, which will start at 5.30pm, will feature stalls selling Palestinian merchandise and food products as well as cakes and crocheted items. Entry and parking will be free.
East Berkshire PSC said: “We would like to thank the officials and volunteers at Burnham Cricket Club for making this event possible and to Anderson Estates who have stepped forward to act as sponsors. Further thanks go to Adnan Shabbir, Burnham Cricket Club chairman, who first approached us with the idea.
A range of products from Zaytoun – a social enterprise committed to supporting farmers in Palestine, will be available. All their profits are reinvested into their work in the region. Summa Sweets (Langley) will also be selling selections from their extensive range of halal, vegan and vegetarian sweets.
In addition, there will be a barbecue which will be catered by Adam’s Fruits.
They are welcoming donations and say that all funds raised will be sent directly to Gaza to support agencies such as UNRWA and MAP.
East Berkshire PSC branch secretary Sue Sibany-King said: “We were so pleased to be asked by Burnham Cricket Club to take part in this massively important fundraising event for Gaza. With over 70% of homes destroyed and almost two million people displaced and facing an enforced famine, Gaza needs our support to rebuild their homeland and lives. Please come along to help us to help them”.
