On the 14th of June 2025, the Guild of St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital hosted a remarkable Palestinian fundraising dinner at Our Lady of Victories Church in Kensington. The event raised over £16,000 for the new Hospital in Nablus; a project central to extending our reach to communities most in need.
Guests were treated to a buffet of Palestinian delicacies, reflecting the rich culinary heritage of the region. The evening’s highlight came with a vibrant performance of Dabke dancers, whose energy and rhythm brought joy and spirit to the room.
