London educational organisation Tikun will be spreading seasonal cheer to the less fortunate with its tenth annual “Light Up A Life” campaign.
Some 300 volunteering opportunities within the Jewish community and beyond will be available up to January 1.
In 2016, more than 1,200 people signed up for activities including cooking for the homeless, running social sessions at care homes and delivering donated goods to hospital staff and patients.
Project co-ordinator Sarit Gafan said, that given recent tragedies, “it is even more important to show unity and trust across faith communities, and communities in general, by taking meaningful action for the greater good. With this in mind, several activities on offer will have an interfaith focus and some will look to serve the community affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.”
