For Gazan families to recover in welcoming UK communities
Would you join a community team?
- For permission to bring a family to safety we need:
- Teams of at least 6 near the town/village offering to host
- Ideas to find a home
- Fundraising
- Training and preparation
Why?
Gaza lies in ruin. No materials or equipment are let in. The killing continues, everything is restricted, life conditions are torment. The future is prison or death. Nearly everyone longs for a safe free Palestine. Until then we respect the choice of families to save their children.

The Red Dragon Who Carried a Message of Hope
In a distant land surrounded by green mountains and peaceful seas, there lived a red dragon named "Draig." He was not a dragon that frightened people like the ones in old tales; instead, he was a guardian of hope and a storyteller of nations that had faced hardship but remained strong and full of life.
Draig would fly above the villages, watching children laugh and listening to songs that told stories of courage and belonging. He knew that the strength of any people was not only found in their land, but also in the hearts of their children and in their dreams.
But Draig was more than a symbol. When people needed help, he would open his great wings and carry them safely across mountains and valleys. Families would sit gently on his back as he flew through the skies, guided by the warm fire that burned inside his heart — a fire made of kindness, courage, and hope.
One day, he heard about children living far away in another part of the world. They had lost their homes and their toys, but they had not lost their imagination. They drew with their little hands, wrote stories, and created moments of happiness from simple things. The red dragon felt that these souls were like him; souls that refused to fade no matter how strong the storms were.
Draig carried a message across the sky:
"Every child deserves a safe place where they can dream, and every family deserves a chance to begin again."

When his message reached Wales, people remembered the true meaning of the Red Dragon. He was not only a symbol of strength, but also a symbol of a heart that opens its doors to others, and of the courage that inspires us to stand beside those who need hope.
Because of some wonderful people who believed in him and saw the kindness within his heart, Draig was encouraged to take a new step. He decided that his wings could carry more than messages; they could carry people towards safety and a new beginning.
From that day on, Draig began travelling from one place to another, carrying families on his back and flying them across mountains and valleys until they reached a place where they could feel safe and protected. He carried their stories, their dreams, and their hopes with him wherever he went.
The Red Dragon continued to fly high, reminding everyone that humanity is a language that needs no translation, and that hope can be born even in the most difficult circumstances.

A Day of Compassion and Support
These photos capture moments from a special gathering where people came together to offer support, share progress on sponsoring Gazan families, and hearing Leigh Evans - retired nurse from Swansea, Wales - speak about love, courage, his journey on the Flotilla, and what he endured in Israeli prisons. Small moments like these remind us how powerful community can be when we stand together.


Communities for Palestinians - why and what we are doing
Communities for Palestinians UK connects people who can help with people who need safety and support.
Supporting the Palestine Women’s Kitchen – Cairo
As part of Cwtch Pals efforts (which is a founder member of CFP) to support 50 women who escaped the war to Egypt, these incredible women are using their cooking and business talents to rebuild their lives — restoring hope, creating healing, generating income, and supporting their children’s education. We support them in earning a sustainable income so they can provide education for their children.
