Strawberries, Cream and 6 Years of TalkMatters

In true pre-Wimbledon spirit, we will enjoy a classic strawberries and cream tea in what promises to be an afternoon of inspiration and meaningful conversation.

Despite renewed fear and anxiety as the war persists, TalkMatters continues its work.

In fact, this summer we are going to celebrate six "roller coaster" years of partnering with grassroots cooperative initiatives in Israel Palestine. From music and ecology to hi-tech and religion, we have spent the last six years bringing Israeli Jews and Arabs face-to-face to build a shared future.

To mark the occasion, we are delighted to host Lee Wilson and Riham Namle from the Freddie Krivine Initiative (FKI). The FKI brings Arab and Jewish children together to learn, play tennis, and simply have fun - proving that sport has the capacity to unite. Their work offers a powerful example of what is possible when people choose partnership over division and how initiatives like this can help shape a more hopeful future for Jewish–Arab relations both within Israel and beyond.

We do hope you will join us at 15.30-18.00, Sunday 21^st June at the Cumberland Tennis Club, London, NW6 1JD for a very special afternoon as TalkMatters hosts its first London fundraising event.
