Story
MAKERS MADE is raising money for The Gaza Sunbirds – a grassroots Palestinian charity whose team of staff, athletes, and volunteers are delivering life-saving aid across the south of Gaza.

The Gaza Sunbirds began as a paracycling team in 2020. Since the escalation of violence in 2023, they’ve shifted their focus to community-led aid — sourcing food from surviving farms, warehouses, and supermarkets, and distributing it directly to people in areas no longer reached by traditional aid organisations.
Because of their smaller size and deep local knowledge, they’re also able to respond to specific, individual needs within their community.
“In light of the ongoing genocide, our para-cycling team has redirected all its resources to providing aid. So far, we’ve delivered over $400,000 worth of essentials.
No matter how dire things become, we remain committed to supporting our people. Our grassroots network prepares and distributes vital supplies to the communities around us.” — Gaza Sunbirds

MAKERS MADE is a collective of UK-based artists and makers, founded in February 2025.
“We created MAKERS MADE as a community-driven space that puts makers first. Our platform exists to support independent artists and artisans — to celebrate their work, amplify their voices, and foster collaboration. It’s a place for customers, interior designers, and buyers to discover beautifully made products — and the people behind them.”

Your donation — however large or small — will help deliver urgently needed aid to Palestinian communities on the ground.
