Section C Objectives and activities
| Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
To advance the religion and related culture of Sephardi Jews in the London and Hertfordshire area, for the benefit of the local and surrounding Jewish communities, through prayer, celebration of religious festivals and meetings/events and the support of our community during times of need. |
|---|---|
| Our priority this year was to resume all our services and events following Covid and get people involved again. We ran Saturday morning prayer services at Yavneh College and weekly daily prayers at Drayton Road for the local community. We also had a weekly learning program on Monday evenings with refreshments for Jewish children in the area. Saturday evenings we had a program for parents and children to come along and learn together at Drayton Road. We held multiple events for the community including: Purim play and Seudah; Summer BBQ; Lag La’Omer BBQ, Bonfire and Archery and Eishet Hayil celebrations to recognise the contribution of 1 woman that has made a difference to our community. Camp Rambam was once again held across 2 weeks and which was very well attended and enjoyed by all. We raised funds to help families in need with their Jewish holiday costs. |
