Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign is a group of people living in the Sheffield area who are deeply concerned about the plight of the Palestinian people.

We are committed to supporting the struggle of the Palestinian people for self-determination. We are affiliated to the national Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which is based in London.

Next planning meeting:

All supporters welcome to come along to our planning meetings:-

Date of next meeting: Tuesday July 1st at 7.30 p.m.
Venue: Quaker Meeting House, James St, Sheffield city centre. 

Subsequent meetings will be held on the first Tuesday of the month.

Central to our work is raising funds for childrens projects in Gaza which we have supported for a long time either by putting on events  or selling Palestinian craft goods, fairtrade Palestinian olive oil or mugs, films and posters produced here in England.

How does Sheffield PSC operate?

The campaigning and humanitarian activities of Sheffield PSC are planned and organised by Sheffield PSC's committee and other committed supporters who meet on a monthly basis at the Friends' Meeting House in the city centre.  These meetings are open and any supporter of PSC is welcome to attend our meetings. We always welcome new supporters and anyone who wishes to get involved, either in our activities as a whole or to commit themselves to a particular project or campaign.

Supporters are generally kept informed of events and activities by e mail. We hope to initiate in 2007 a quarterly newsletter to improve our communication with supporters and to provide a more effective means of supporters becoming more actively involved in campaigning activities.
