When we put out a call for emergency support to get us through the Covid-19 crisis, the Manchester Jewish Community opened its heart without hesitation. You enabled us to be there for the 1 in 8 households which benefit from our services during these dire times. The Fed is immensely grateful for the overwhelming generosity which helped us save lives, both at Heathlands Village and in the community.
But. Although the peak of the pandemic has passed, for too many people in our community, the personal crisis continues: ■
children are being groomed with alcohol
■
teenagers are self-harming or involved in drug abuse
■
parents are struggling to manage a child’s violent behaviour
■
people need rehousing due to a partner’s abusive behaviour
■
families are struggling to manage the care of a child with complex learning difficulties
■
families are living in poverty and unable to afford food and other basics
The Fed’s dedicated, professional community teams are supporting, guiding and advising people living in dreadful circumstances - helping to give them safe, healthy, positive futures. The virus has, for now, receded but we are still having to save lives. So, forgive us for having to turn to you again - to ask you to support our Rosh Hashanah Appeal.
Because for too many, the crisis continues. To donate visit thefed.org.uk/donate-online/ or call our fundraising team on 0161 772 48001 Issue 1022 phone: 0161 708 8877 | Fax: 0161 241 6700 | E-mail: sales@manjad.co.uk Reg To Chadvertise No 1117126
