The Board of Deputies is calling on student volunteers to back its Shoah Survivor Support Project.

The organisation has described the project as a great opportunity for university and secondary school students who would like to support Holocaust survivors who are not engaged with the UK Jewish community.

The BoD Shoah Survivor project would provide them with “life enhancing grants and other social support,” a spokeswoman confirmed.

The project, which is funded by the Six Point Foundation, was welcomed by Jewish Care, the largest communal welfare organisation which has a dedicated Holocaust Survivors’ Centre (HSC) in Hendon, north-west London.
