Achievements and perfomiance
The past yèar has been a tale of Iwo halves. From April to Sèptember, the numbers of people registering and
applying for regular volunteering was going down, reflecting the experien￿ in the wider voluntary sector. This was
dug to many factors induding the p8nd8mic breaking volunteering habits wilh people hawng other interests in their
lives. The cx)st-of-liwng crisis also had an irvp8ct, meaning that rnore people are working longer, grandparents and
parents, meaning both have less available time due to childcare. As a result, JVN pivoted and started to run monthly
drop ins out in the community in Golders Green to try to reach out to more prospeth've volunteers. as well a3
choosing several new locations for the pop ups run during Volunlegrs, Week in June, whith h8d some effecl.
From October 71h, the trajectory cth3nged
with the tragic events in Israel and the unprecedented rise in
anlisemrtism, many people came forward lo volunteer for charities supporting Israèl. in the UK Jewish ￿MmUnity
and in th8 widér charity secior, which is important to build bridges.
As a result, th& 10OA increase on targets on the prévious year were mel, except for applications as sel out below.
These results confimi JVN ha5..
Conne¢ted charities within our nefvlork with volunteers, enabling them lo further deliver on their aims and
objeclivtrs.

Website Development
Our website is the portal through which people find volunteering opportunities. Over this year we were ft>rtunate lo
ie¢eive a specific granl lo refresh our website in threè phasès in memory of our previou5 Chair, David Lazaru5. The
fir51 phase was to improve the website lo be more modern and user-friendly to rnake it easier for'volunteers to
search for and apply to opportunities that match their sknlls and location. Overall, this has been achieved with a
fresh look and féèl for the website and a simplified prO￿sS for findirbg and applying for volunteer opportunities.
Key improvements include:
Streamlined se8ich filters to make it easier to find the right opportunrties.
You can browse se8r¢h rÈsLJlts withoul losing your place in the prO￿5s.
The website works better on mobile deVI￿S for searching, reviewing, apptying, and ¢onlaeting.
Added an ￿on bar to quickly adjust filtets and nav￿ate wrthout much scrolling.
Easier to contact charities and apply for opportLJnilies with fewer steps.
Foeus on Young Adults: JVN Conrte¢L a bÈ$pokè proyrdmme for Young Adults
Reeognising that engaging young adults in volunteering is a key need of every ¢h8ri1y to se¢urg thfyir future, JVN
ran a pilot young adu115' volunleeiing programme in 2021, wlh 10 participants volunteèring at 3 organisations.
Learning from the pilot, we sreated JVN Connect to enable young adults in the community to discover th8 pow8r of
volunteering and èngage more young adutts in volunl&8rin9. The programme launched in September 2023 10 50
participants. From the inrt131 interest. 20 participants committed to the programme of 3 volunteering opportunities,
few swal events and commitment to a volunteering project.
From Septernber to December 2023, people colleded hygiene products for a homeless shelter svpported by Goods
for Good and ¢rèalèd cards for patien15 al the Roy81 Frèè Hospital and donations for Hackney Food Bank with
Moishe Houses in London. Our inaugural ￿hort of JVN Connect volunteers ran from December 2023 to November
2024. Partiupants shaped the programme via a survey of interest, ensuring it reflected the causes they wanted lo
support. This unique element allowed us lo create purptsse-buili collaboTalions, with volunteers m8king signtficant
contribution5 across community projects and beyond. The cohort wrapped over 200 presents to go lo
disadvantsgtsd local children who during the festive $83s0n, in partnership wilh the Young Bamel Foundation. They
cooked over 100 dishes using surplus food for the shètters supported by FEAST With Us, making a difference lo
those tscing food poverty and reduang food w8$1è. They ¢xeated 250 food parcels to go lo those in nÉéd in the
