small park BIG RUN

small park BIG RUN is organised by individuals from Sheffield Palestine Cultural Exchange (SPaCE), Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), Sheffield Palestine Women's Scholarship Fund and the local Meersbrook and Heeley community. Local groups participating in the organisation include Meersbrook Park Users Trust and Heeley Development Trust.

SPaCE is a UK based charity (number 1198863)  committed to providing funds to improve the health and cultural life of young Palestinian people ; SPaCE also looks to raise awareness of the lives faced by Palestinian people by holding cultural events in Sheffield and, where possible, making live links with Palestinians. In tandem with the small park BIG RUN we always look to organise a run in Palestine that coincides with our event in Sheffield.

The Sheffield Palestine Women's Scholarship Fund is a UK based charity (number 133499) set up in 2007 following a 2006 International Women’s Day Conference where a call was made to support women into education in Gaza. The Fund raises money for scholarships to pay the university fees of poor often refugee Palestinian women into higher education in the Gaza Strip.

Sheffield PSC has been active in Sheffield since 1990s. It is a group committed to highlighting injustices suffered by Palestinian people. SPSC supports children's projects in Gaza and funds play and educational facilties and, amongst other intiatives, a mobile library. More recently we have funded a trauma centre to help recovery from the psychological impact of war.
