Hello,

We are a group of friends cycling from London to Brighton on 7 September.

We want to use the occasion to raise money for Gaza Soup Kitchen, a grassroots organisation that was founded in 2024 to provide food for Palestinians at risk of famine during the Gaza war.

Since 2024, the kitchen's capacity has now expanded to accommodate daily meals for up to 3,000 people at the same time facing blocks to aid, water, shelter, medicine and constant bombing. Right now in Gaza 90 percent of the population are displaced and facing food insecurity; starvation is widespread and children are dying from malnutrition.

Your donation will be transferred straight to Gaza Soup Kitchen's PayPal to help them keep their pots filled and their staff going.

Thank you and solidarity with Palestine!

Ellie, Gabriel, Hana, Jaime, Mali, Reuben and Rob

Right now, in Gaza (from Gaza Soup Kitchen):

Real children—not statistics—are giving up. Their bodies are shutting down from hunger, and they don’t even know it’s not normal

Famine isn’t a theory—it’s not in some academic journal. It’s in the streets, in the shelters, in the makeshift tents

Parents are skipping meals so their kids can eat

People are walking 2, 5, 8 miles on foot just for a single scoop of lentils

Many collapse from hunger before ever reaching our kitchens

A doctor told us this week:

> “We’re seeing fewer patients. Not because they’re healing—because they don’t have the strength to walk here.”

Let that sink in.

We operate 11 kitchens across Gaza.

Today, only 5 are functional.

Some are running at just 70% capacity, because food is nearly impossible to find.

We rotate, we stretch, we improvise—just to survive.

Still, our team doesn’t give up. Not now. Not ever.
