02 Activities

What the charity does

The support of individuals from a strictly Orthodox Jewish community background who find themselves in financial need, suffer hardship, emotional distress, or have health, legal or housing problems because their personal values are not in line with those of their religious community and who therefore wish to explore options to study, or work in the wider world and live independently.
