What FBFF does

The FBFF is committed to supporting the Bereaved Families Forum (PCFF), a joint Israeli and Palestinian organisation of 650 bereaved families who have lost a close family member to the decades of Middle East conflict. Instead of seeking revenge, they have chosen a path of reconciliation.

The long-term vision of the members of the Bereaved Families Forum is to create a reconciliation process which will form part of any future peace agreement.

The FBFF is a non-political organisation in the UK that has been moved by the courage of the Bereaved Families Forum and its attempt to build bridges between the two communities instead of perpetuating hatred.

We are committed to raising funds to help the Bereaved Families Forum and also to increasing awareness in the UK of the importance of their dialogue, narrative and public outreach projects which influence thousands of Palestinians and Israelis every year.

We believe that the tragic loss of lives will come to an end only through both sides’ empathy and respect for each other’s pain and dignity.

Please support the work of the Bereaved Families Forum by making a donation, joining our events and spreading the message to your own communities.

“Please don’t be pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian.


Just be pro-peace.”
