We hope to resume the market stall in Leek with Zaytoun produce and Palestinian gift items.

Further information will be sent out to you when we know about availability.

Palestinians in the West Bank cannot move more than 10 kilometres without being stopped by Israeli restrictions. Checkpoints, demands for permits, roadblocks and the apartheid wall surrounding the occupied territories are part of the struggle of daily life. Freedom to Run follows two groups of runners, one from Right to Movement in Palestine and one from Scotland, as they run together in Palestine and Scotland.
