A Light For Aleppo


A light for Aleppo.


Offering a light in the darkness, to show those who face daily conflict and starvation, that the world is spreading out beacons of vigilance and hope.


At 5pm on Sunday 20th November, as the dark nights begin to draw in, communities will gather along the Firth of Forth in Scotland and in other sites around the world to light lights of hope for those besieged in Aleppo.


Join in wherever you are, or place lit candles or lamps in the windows of your own homes. If you can, please donate to Oxfam, Medicin Sans Frontieres, Caritas Internationalis or the Society of the Red Cross and Red Crescent who are working in the region.


All people still living in war zones around the world have less and less food to live on each day, fewer and fewer medical supplies to respond to the constant arms attacks, and aid cannot easily get through. We want them to know that wherever they are they are not forgotten, and the world is watching.
When we are helpless to do much, we can answer the darkness by sending messages of light around the world
