About us
Across London, Manchester and Israel we inspire giving. We know that being kind or helping others isn’t something that just happens automatically. It is a mindset that needs to be taught, nurtured and encouraged, so that present and future generations are imbued with this core tenet of Judaism.
​
We are immensely grateful to all of our wonderful volunteers and generous supporters; through you, we are able to inspire and enable lifelong giving, creating a community that is engaged, supported and empowered by the gift of giving. Thank you for all that your involvement allows us to achieve.
"It’s what we give to others, more than what we get from others, which makes for a meaningful and happy life."
Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
Our Vision
We can only deliver our widely respected and vital work through the generous support of philanthropists, trusts and foundations, corporate sponsors and friends.
We are committed to raising funds for:
​
Education
We inspire lifelong giving and the value of kindness in meaningful, impactful ways. Whether in-person or online, whether in school or in a supermarket, we’re creating the next generation of volunteers and philanthropists, and inspiring kindness in all its forms.
​
Community Support
We make a tangible difference to those in need, through food support, befriending, childcare help and in-kind donations, all enabled by our extraordinary volunteers.

Thank you for enabling us to do even more over the coming years. Through the generosity of supporters like you, we can meet the challenges of nurturing and supporting our community.
"A community engaged, supported and empowered by the gift of giving."
Being one of life’s givers can be more than just handing over a charity cheque. It’s an attitude and approach to life. It’s what creates and nourishes relationships, helps people grow and brings meaning to our lives.
We also welcome unrestricted gifts as they can be directed towards the area of greatest need.
