Menorah Grammar School raises £591,417, surpassing their original £500K goal

Menorah Grammar School sits at the heart of our community. Its ongoing success benefits everyone. The past eighteen months have seen transformational change, but the best is yet to come.

We are fundraising today to raise at least £500K of our annual £650K budget deficit and hope the campaign’s success will raise vital funds so that the school can deliver the high standards of education in both Kodesh and Chol that our talmidim deserve.

Play your part in another Menorah miracle today!

Mizrachi UK raises 100% of their goal, with a total of £763,700

Mizrachi UK inspires people with a sense of commitment to the Torah, the Jewish people and the Land of Israel.  We are committed to a Jewish community that is engaged both with Judaism and the wider world.

We hold dear a conviction that the work we do through our Fellowship Programme, Shlichim community engagement work, Yehudi Initiative or our presentations and publications showcase that being part of the modern world is no contradiction to being a committed Orthodox Jew and a proud religious Zionist.

Mizrachi UK through the support of its Trustees and small team of dedicated staff and volunteers, are proudly scaffolding Anglo Jewry in strengthening Jewish identity, supporting Israel and creating leaders.

With your support, Mizrachi UK will be inspiring leaders and influencing our future for generations to come.

Follicular Lymphoma Foundation raises £2.5m, smashing their £1m target

It’s nearly 100 years since the first ever diagnosis of follicular lymphoma (FL).Yet it’s nearly fifty years since the last major scientific discovery was made that changed the landscape of treatment for FL.

The Follicular Lymphoma Foundation‘s aim is that by the 100th anniversary of the first diagnosis of FL they will be on the path to a cure – better and less toxic and debilitating treatments, as well as improving the personal journey of every patient. While they were aiming to raise £1m to fund their programmes across the board they managed to raise an impressive £2.5m.
