About the Britain Palestine Project
The Britain Palestine Project (BPP) is a UK-based Scottish registered charity working for peace with justice, security, and equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians. Rooted in the belief that Britain’s historic and ongoing responsibilities in Palestine must be acknowledged and addressed, BPP promotes informed public debate, legally grounded advocacy, and inclusive educational programming that connects history, law, and civic engagement.
Our mission is to ensure that Palestine is part of Britain’s national conversation—not just as a foreign policy issue, but as a historical and moral responsibility that resonates with communities across the UK.
What We Do
BPP’s work is organised into two core thematic workstreams and two delivery workstreams:
- Advocacy and Law
Engaging UK policymakers through strategic briefings, a flagship Parliamentary Fellowship, international law podcasts, and targeted constituency events. - Education and History
Bringing Britain’s past and present role in Palestine into classrooms and public debate through our schools programme, Essay Competition, digital history projects, films, and webinars. - Communications
Amplifying impact across platforms—Substack, social media, press outreach, and content creation—shaping the public narrative with clarity and authority. - Fundraising and Organisational Development
Strengthening BPP’s core capacity and sustainability through donor stewardship, Middle East engagement, and systems building.
Why This Role Matters
BPP is in a period of growth and transition, evolving from a volunteer-led initiative into a professionally structured charity. We are building the systems and team to deliver an ambitious 2025–2029 strategy that includes trying to influence the next UK General Election discourse, engaging deeply in Parliament, and expanding national education reach.
This position will play a vital role in supporting the smooth operation of our growing charity—ensuring our supporters are valued, our finances and records are accurate, and our public-facing work runs smoothly.
Join Us
You’ll be part of a small, mission-driven team that punches well above its weight. We operate with a collaborative, inclusive spirit, guided by our values and a strong network of supporters, volunteers, and expert advisors.
