ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charitable Activities TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR 2024-2025
Hundreds of families have attended JUMP services this past year. Families took part in the regular event many of them joining a few events and participating many times at some events. These families are recorded through Registration forms and Attendance forms sent to Family Hub of Hackney. Some events are virtual, but most are face to face.
JUMP participated and was involved in arranging and planning a three-day seminar convention in Bournemouth in May 2024. The seminar is a biannual venture that brings together tens of Jewish Maternity educators and Doulas from all over England. This was the 10th seminar, where participants were able to learn new information and skills, in order to better support the users. The delegates came from Hackney, Barnet and Edgware in London, Manchester & Gateshead from the North of England and Canvey Island & Westcliff in the South. The participants are all volunteers, some of us have been supporting families for over 3 decades, but as fresh blood is important, for some it was their first convention and a great way to learn from the experience of others, gain knowledge, and form important connections for future reference and support. JUMP delivered a well-attended workshop on several Maternity topics, in particular, new medical advances and new NICE guidelines. Workshops and lectures included a lecture by CHANA organisation how to support couples who struggled with infertility or/and pregnancy loss and are now expecting. This topic is particularly important for JUMP, because we have supported and are currently supporting several expectant couples who suffered loss in previous pregnancy/ies or struggled previously with infertility. Another workshop was given by KNAFAYIM an American charity supporting families who suffered pregnancy loss or an infant loss. Other workshops included Understanding Hyperemesis Gravidarum and supporting couples through this difficult condition.
JUMP with Interlink and other relevant Charities funded by Statutory health bodies delivered at the end of 2024 a public information workshop for the Charedi communities of Hackney and Haringey covering Women's productive health. The target groups were mothers of teen girls, young women and mothers and any other interested women. Lectures and workshops were delivered by NHS consultant Obstetrician, Consultant midwife, CHANA organisation, JUMP organisation and Nutrition consultant. Topics covered healthy lifestyle and exercise, healthy eating and nutrition, immunisation, preconception health, pregnancy and birth health and menopause health.
This event came about due to the huge success of the first workshop in late 2020, that was the brainchild of JUMP post Covid. JUMP in partnership with other relevant charities are planning future similar workshops if and when funding will be available.
JUMP together with Interlink have been supporting the task group with reaching the Jewish community and working on greater uptake of Maternity and childhood vaccines. Together we produced adverts targeting the community. As a result, the uptake improved considerably. This is an ongoing creative and working group feeding information into the health authorities' bodies, working with them on new and on-going challenges. We have produced a culturally appropriate leaflet targeting the OJ community regarding childhood and Maternity vaccinations.
JUMP is working with Oral Health team to promote early oral health, and to educate parents to be about this important health target. JUMP distributed packs to all users, pregnant couples, breastfeeding moms, and parents attending the parenting classes.
JUMP and interlink formed the Jewish Health Alliance working with Health authorities on Health issues and targets in the London Jewish communities. We are also working to plan further events for the OJ community and other hard to reach communities.
Maternity and beyond health information leaflet -JUMP together with Interlink Foundation and with support from Local Health authorities produced a leaflet of information about essential Health targets, in particular for pregnant moms and babies.
Various immunisation leaflets-JUMP together with Interlink Foundation, Bikur Cholim and Hatzola amongst other charities and bodies produced a leaflet of information, other Health targets and Strep A immunisations. The reason we produced it was to meet a need in the community. Due to religious reasons our families are not on Internet or social media. We know that the reason for the low intake of immunisation is largely due to lack of information. We set out to bring the information in a hard copy in a culturally accepted format. The leaflets are well received and widely distributed. Many hospitals found the leaflets easy to understand and suitable for other religious groups. Currently we are working on updated version to come out in January 2026, in order to reflect the new NHS guidelines and time frame.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT: JUMP together with Beis Brucha delivered a popular Breastfeeding Drop-in in BB, the service is once again well attended and immensely popular.
JUMP applied for and managed to secure an £8,000 grant from Family Hub of Hackney to deliver fortnightly drop in support at two local family Hub centres. This project was a successful pilot, and currently we are working on receiving another similar grant for the coming year.
PARENTING GROUPS-JUMP joined Coach Parenting in providing Solihull parenting courses to vulnerable families in the community. The sessions are very well sought after and well attended. Parents feedback is glowing, and we hope to be able to offer it to many more families. JUMP signpost families to this provision.
SHOMRIM EVENT: JUMP participated in the summer holidays Health and Safety community event. This annual one day event runs on the first day of holidays of the Jewish schools. Thousands of Jewish families come from London and other Jewish communities, for this highly anticipated event. Local charities and very many statutory bodies such as Health bodies, Police, Jewish Health and safety charities man stalls. The community receives verbal and written information about many services and are able to participate in health checks and immunisation amongst other services. JUMP together with other members of the Orthodox Jewish Health Forum, provide a lot of varied information to do with Women Health and Healthy living. Planned for next year a questionnaire for adults and kids about keeping healthy.
While supporting families we became aware that many young families find it difficult to purchase essentials. JUMP team earmark small sums of money left over from other projects, and we are buying essential supplies at extremely low prices from In-kind. We give the goods free of charge to the needy families. JUMP volunteers raised funds amongst family and friends and bought more supplies to give to large families in need.
JUMP continues to incorporate the 'START 4 LIFE' initiative into JUMP's programme. All the families are receiving the 'Start 4 Life' booklets; the main issues are discussed in our sessions as well as other healthy lifestyle issues. JUMP encourage mothers 2 B to take Healthy Start Vitamins and Vitamin D and to give them to their babies.
JUMP antenatal courses focus on encouraging and supporting sustainable breastfeeding. Other focus points are early booking before 10 weeks gestation, hearing tests for new-born and development check-up as well as immunisations in pregnancy and babyhood. JUMP antenatal programmes focus on encouraging and supporting mothers to return to work after they had a baby and provide basic information about benefits and other entitlements. JUMP signpost families to the appropriate agencies when needed.
JUMP educates about MENTAL HEALTH in the maternity period and gives culturally appropriate information booklets to parents and parents to be. JUMP also refers and signpost parents to mental health services and/or refer mothers to be to the 'Vulnerable Woman Pathway'. JUMP will contribute to CAFF and attend MAT when appropriate.
JUMP achieved wider signposting opportunities with other voluntary and statutory organisations. JUMP refers families to family support organisation and other professionals as well as to the mental health team and Health visitors.
JUMP is a member of the "maternity Services" group that joins voluntary organisations dealing with maternity issues and services and the statutory health providers in Homerton Hospital and Hackney that meets regularly. Through this group JUMP achieves wider networking, signposting, and better referral opportunities. JUMP manager is the chair of this forum. JUMP professionals are members of several other health focus groups through its connections with Homerton Hospital and City and Hackney Health Trust. JUMP manager is a member of the MVP of several trusts. She is also a member of the LABOUR WARD FORUM. Through these posts we can access information for our clients and be active in decisions on changes and actions to do with Maternity services.
Coming soon:
JUMP formed a connection with Uplift Women magazine and Ms Schreibhand who is a Certified Menopause Coach. We aim at offering women a safe environment and up to date information about the issue. Ms S has been running groups in Manchester for several years, as well as producing the magazine. We hope to train a facilitator to work under Ms S guidance and provide the service in Hackney too. The service must be culturally sensitive. JUMP is collaborating with local NHS providers of similar service, to work together to arrange this much needed project.
