Playgrounds for Palestine UK Trustee report for 2022
Almost £12,500 was raised during the year, less than the previous year in which we received a very generous donation. However, we benefited from a very generous pledge from a supporter, who matchfunded donations during our Christmas Big Give appeal which raised over £4000. The number of people supporting our work through monthly donations grew during the year and we are grateful for their support. Thanks too to Rachel Rice who examined our accounts.
The situation in Palestine is such that it is increasingly difficult to find playground manufacturers who can match the high quality required. Nonetheless we sent over £13,000 to the West Bank for a playground in Silwan. Plans for a further playground in the West Bank are well advanced and will be built in 2023.
During the year, trustees Roslyn Arthur, Evie Dickinson, Julian Lewis and Lesley Ravenscroft were joined by Sadia Akram to ensure the continuing success of the charity. We said goodbye to Sarah Parkhouse, Henry Bowlby and Sophie Dowle and we thank them for their hard work. We continue to work closely with our American counterparts, Susie and Hanan.
