This year, we’re marking Antony’s 75th birthday in a way that reflects the generosity, compassion, and sense of justice he has shown throughout his life.

Instead of gifts, we’re inviting friends and colleagues to donate — in his name — to provide urgent humanitarian relief for the people of Gaza. As we celebrate Antony’s milestone, this is a chance to contribute to a cause that aligns with the values he has lived by: care for others, especially in times of crisis.

Your donation, however big or small, will go directly to support emergency medical aid, shelter, food, and clean water for civilians affected by the ongoing conflict. We hope that by pooling our contributions, we can offer real help — and also show Antony the impact his example continues to inspire.

At the end, we’ll share the total amount raised with Antony as a birthday gift from all of us — a testament to the good that one life can inspire in many others.

Thank you for being part of this.

Please note:

The Gaza Crisis Appeal will support people in areas affected and those potentially affected in the future by this crisis. Gift Aid claimed on donations received in response to this appeal will be used to fund the whole of our work. In the event there are surplus funds raised for this appeal these will be used for the general charitable purposes of the British Red Cross.
