START HERE for MAP

Join us - as a company, as an individual, as a humanitarian. Start here.

As a creative community, many of us have watched the humanitarian crisis in Gaza feeling unsure how to help.

The recent ceasefire and the hope that aid might finally reach Palestinian civilians gives us all an opportunity to contribute in whatever way we can, especially when charities have seen a ‘catastrophic’ drop in donations since the ceasefire began. "'The world thinks Palestinians don’t need help any more,’ aid organiser says, despite desperate need as winter nears” (The Guardian, 21 Nov 2025).

From this urgency came Start Here: an initiative created by the creative industry, for the creative industry. Our goal is simple, to turn our collective creativity, problem-solving and drive into meaningful support.

We’ve chosen to fundraise for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), a humanitarian organisation providing emergency medical care, essential supplies and long-term health support. With over 35 years experience delivering medical aid and strong local partnerships, MAP is one of the few aid agencies still able to operate in areas where others have been restricted.
