Ellie's fundraiser for Hope and Play

Eleanor Powell is raising money for Hope and Play

Storytime For Palestine · 6 December 2025

We believe that every child has the right to safely play, learn and grow in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding. Through trauma therapy, education and play projects in war zones and refugee camps, we add hope and play to the lives of Palestinian children who are denied both.

Story

Storytime for Palestine - Join us in celebrating culture and compassion

'The Children Are Ours' is proud to host Storytime for Palestine, a special event bringing families together to hear powerful tales of Palestinian resilience, culture and community - read by actor Emma Atkins.

Inspired by Zawe Ashton’s beautiful Storytime event in East London, we wanted to create a space where stories remind us of our shared humanity and inspire empathy in the next generation of leaders.

Alongside the storytelling session, you’ll find refreshments and handmade Palestinian-themed gifts - perfect for Christmas or treating yourself.

Every purchase and donation will go to UK registered charity, Hope and Play, who provide children in Gaza with trauma support through play as well as food, water and education.

Please donate here if you aren't able to attend in person and would like to support the cause.
