Who are PCF and what are our aims?<br />
WE ARE PALESTINE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (PCF),<br />
a not-for-profit organisation aiming to become the<br />
point of entry for everything relating to <strong>Palestine</strong><br />
in the UK. We are a space for Palestinians and<br />
non-Palestinians alike to unite and build a sense<br />
of community, whilst discovering and sharing<br />
the cultural, political and social life of <strong>Palestine</strong>.<br />
We aim to stand out by first and foremost, building a community. We want to bring people in the UK from all<br />
walks of life together under the Palestinian flag. This is regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religion, culture<br />
or gender; whether you’re a well-versed activist or an individual just wishing to find out more.<br />
PCF hopes to become an information hub for people who wish to work together to promote the human<br />
rights of the Palestinian people. We will promote knowledge and awareness of <strong>Palestine</strong>, from information<br />
on human rights violations to the steps of traditional dabke dances.<br />
PCF Aims and Objectives:<br />
• Raising awareness of the Palestinian issue and<br />
highlighting human rights abuses<br />
• Acting as a point of contact and facilitator<br />
regarding all Palestinian related activities<br />
• Educating people on the Palestinian issue<br />
through lectures, workshops and publications<br />
• Promoting Palestinian culture through sharing<br />
music, art and food<br />
• Campaigning for the right of self-determination<br />
and right of return of the Palestinian People<br />
• Mobilising international condemnation of the<br />
Israeli occupation through BDS<br />
• Enhancing the Palestinian community in the UK<br />
and strengthening relationships among each<br />
other and those living in diaspora<br />
• Empowering and supporting livelihoods of<br />
Palestinians in <strong>Palestine</strong> and across the diaspora<br />
through our initiatives which highlight their skills<br />
such as photography, embroidery and Arabic<br />
• Effectively coordinating and collaborating with<br />
national and international organisations to<br />
achieve these aims and objectives<br />
