Supporting Sheffield PSC through 2016
Sheffield PSC needs your support through 2016.
Our campaigning – on BDS, against the ridiculous ruling by the co-op bank, against the equally ridiculous and insipid declaration that PSC is a terrorist organisation, to increase awareness of the injustices suffered by Palestinian people – all these things need funds.
And so does our direct support for Palestinian people – whether through the children’s projects or the scholarship fund.
Please find out how here : SPSC Appeal – Version 2016-2.1 and act now.
Women of Palestine: living through trauma, building resilience
Join us for a series of events dedicated to the women of Palestine for International Women’s Day. Our theme is Women of Palestine: Living through Trauma, Building Resilience”.
Through film, music, drama, poetry, workshops, photography and women’s personal accounts, we will explore the daily trauma of life for Palestinian women. We’ll also be celebrating how they survive and thrive against all the odds – supporting each other, their families and their communities, by being politically and creatively active.
Running for a week, from Saturday 5 March Sunday 13 March, this programme has been devised by Northern Women for Palestine, a group of activists from towns and cities across the north of England committed to campaigning for justice for Palestinians.
Read interviews with our Scholarship Fund students
The Sheffield Palestine Women’s Scholarship Fund has published its annual newsletter. Read about the students we sponsor – about their families, their lives and how important it is for them to be able to study at university. It is inspiring.
Thank you to all our supporters – we couldn’t do it without you.
Co-opertiave Bank protest
Last year the Co-opertaive Bank closed Sheffield PSC Bank account and the Scholarship Fund account.
On Saturday, Sheffield PSC supporters make sure that they cannot simply brush this under the carpet and have it forgotten.

We have opened an account with Yorkshire Building Society, They have a special ‘registered charities account’ which pays a small amount of interest. So that will only add to the amazing contributions you send to us.
