Without a doubt, Covid-19 has changed all of our lives. As new national lockdown restrictions came into place on January 4th, 2021, many of us once again started to feel the impact of this global pandemic.
This winter, we visited our brothers and sisters living in District Neelum, Azad Kashmir, to provide disadvantaged members of our ummah with warm clothing, thick blankets and assistance with vital shelter repairs that will help protect them all season long.
Medjoul dates from Palestine are the king of all dates. They’re large and chewy, with a decadent caramel flavour that is guaranteed to make your mouth water and have you reaching into your Penny Appeal Palestinian dates gift box for just one more
From around December to March in the UK, you might start to see more people around you start to sniffle and sneeze and hear quite a few people barking with a cough – that’s because it’s flu season!
For many people, winter can be a lonely season. With shorter days, longer evenings and freezing weather, many of us find ourselves spending more time indoors on our own and the new COVID-19 restrictions and lockdown measures have only made this winter all the more difficult for those of us struggling with loneliness
December has come and gone and January has brought with it an eagerly anticipated start to the new year, but the chill of winter is still in the air and some of us here in the UK have even experienced a few snow days so far.
Penny Appeal’s best loved dates are finally back on the shelves and available to you once more. Our Medjoul dates are sweet, juicy and delicious, grown with love by hard-working Palestinian farmers in the pastures of Jericho along the West Bank of Palestine.
In England, 45% of adults have reported having feelings of loneliness - that’s 25 million people – and throughout the rest of the UK many more have felt the effects of being lonely too.
Over the winter months – when the weather is colder and there’s little to do but stay warm at home – many of us can feel cooped up. However, the past 12 months have presented a separate challenge: the COVID-19 pandemic.
'Home is not home when you’re displaced’ – that’s the reality for millions of people around the world, home is simply not home when life becomes challenging – and while the ‘weather outside is frightful’, so is life as a refugee.
