As well as showing Nablus the solidarity from Sheffield, we are also raising funds to support 3 brilliant community development projects in Nablus: a girls football team in New Askar refugee camp; a young boys football team in the Old City; and a co-working space for young people at SEEDS Assn for Development and Culture, with the support of the Palestinian Working Women’s Development Society. All ticket money from online purchases goes to these Nablus projects.
