“I contacted the JVN office with a desire to give back but also to gain work experience in an office environment. I found the experience they gave me to be a very good one, one which I enjoyed and one which has allowed me to gain new skills and meet new people. I would definitely recommend JVN to others as a way of volunteering.”

“The work of the Jewish Volunteering Network is important for us all. The Biblical verb for volunteering is reflexive, implying giving of oneself. The JVN encourages us to give from our most precious resources, our time, our self and our heart. It ensures that volunteers are well trained and well placed so that they and those they help can gain the most from a creative and worthwhile association. It’s moving to learn how JVN has become a model for other charitable organisations, working together to ensure that we give our best in the most beneficial way.”
Bayla Perrin, Trustee of The Paperweight Trust
“I would like to congratulate you on receiving The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. This honour is richly deserved. In just ten years you have recruited nearly 8,000 volunteers who have supported over 400 grassroots organisations. This has helped to make London a happier place to live and work.”
“Due almost entirely to the JVN, it has now become the norm for people with a little spare time to think about volunteering, and this has made a huge difference to the growth of very many charities who are registered with you, as well as to the service they are able to provide.”
