Advocacy
and
Charity
I have worked with CRISIS, Time's Up, Doorstep Library, Save the Children and The Passage, raising money and offering my services as a volunteer.
Below are some of the bigger projects I've been a part of.
CINEMA FOR GAZA
In 2024, I co-founded this charitable endeavour, a passionate, inclusive fundraising space powered by the generosity of people from all corners of the film industry who will not stand idly by while Palestinians are dehumanised and attacked with impunity. We believe that art and politics are inextricably linked and are called to act in word and deed to help those subjected to unspeakable horrors across the occupied Palestinian territory.
​
Our 2024 online auction raised over a quarter of a million pounds for Medical Aid for Palestinians, boasting donations from Ayo Edebiri, Joaquin Phoenix, Spike Lee, Tilda Swinton, Guillermo del Toro, and hundreds more.
​
In 2025, I spearheaded "Cinema For Gaza presents Pride & Prejudice - The Table Read", in aid of MAP; a one-night-only event at London's Troxy, starring Ambika Mod, Daisy Ridley, Himesh Patel, Jameela Jamil, among other all-star names, and directed by Nida Manzoor.
100% of ticket sales will go to MAP.
LFF CRITICS SUPPORT FUND
Established in 2023 by me and film journalist Hannah Strong, through a grass-roots GoFundMe campaign, we were able to provide financial aid to low-income critics attending the BFI London Film Festival.
​
Since then, I have coordinated the scheme in 2024 and 2025, securing donations from various film companies, and creating networking and media opportunities for the recipients of the fund.
TOGETHER FOR PALESTINE
In 2025, I was honoured to serve as a creative advisor on the historic Together For Palestine concert, which took place on September 17, 2025 at Wemble OVO Arena.
​
This event raised millions for the Palestinian-led organisations at the frontline of the crisis, such as Taawon, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and the Palestine Medical Relief Society.
​
100% of donations made to Choose Love will support the Together For Palestine Fund and every penny goes to Palestinian organisations operating on the ground in Gaza.
