About Tanita
Tanita Tikaram burst onto the music scene in 1988 with her debut album ‘Ancient Heart’, which produced the Top Ten hits ‘Good Tradition’ and ‘Twist in My Sobriety’ and earned her two BRIT Award nominations at just 19 years old.
Known for her deep, distinctive voice and poetic songwriting, she has gone on to release a string of acclaimed albums over more than three decades, from ‘The Sweet Keeper’ and ‘Everybody’s Angel’ through to 2016’s ‘Closer to the People’, cementing her place as one of Britain’s most enduring and influential songwriters.
She continues to write, record and perform, bringing the same honesty and depth to her music today that first captivated audiences over 30 years ago.
In Her Hands stands with the women of Gaza, who are three times more likely to die of breast cancer than women in the UK. Host an event and do hope with us.
In Her Hands is about solidarity — all of us, standing with the women of Gaza who are facing impossible barriers to healthcare, especially breast cancer screening and treatment.
It’s simple: gather with friends, family, colleagues or your community to do something you love — a coffee morning, a dinner party, a walk, a book club, a quiz night — and raise awareness and funds for the breast cancer screening programme at Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.

Al Ahli Hospital
Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City
In Gaza, that means working alongside partners like Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, which has stayed open throughout the war despite being hit eight times. For over 30 years, Amos Trust has supported Al Ahli’s breast cancer screening and women’s health programmes, helping catch a disease that kills more women in Gaza than anywhere else in the region.
Before the war, that programme reached thousands of women a year with awareness training and annual screening; now, as the hospital stabilises, we’re helping it start that life-saving work again. Every ticket sold and donation made helps Amos keep that promise — to Al Ahli, and to everyone else across Palestine still waiting for the world to notice.
