Organised by Circle 9, with proceeds directed to the Gaza Support Circle.

The Gaza Support Circle is supporting a Palestinian Family who has fled from Gaza to safety in Australia on Visitor Visas, which means they do not have the right to work for a whole year. This has added to their challenges and means it is difficult for them to be financially independent. They are now living in a unit and in need of support with rent, electricity bills, gas bills, water bills, in addition to other daily expenses.
