Feeding Folk Feeding Folk is an interfaith project that delivers meals to London’s street homeless on two Sundays a month. Expand Feeding Folk was set up by a group of Muslim young adults in one of their member’s kitchens. Each month we prepare 150-200 warm and healthy meals here at the synagogue, before packing them to deliver to Victoria, Camden, Marble Arch, and across London. To get involved please contact Nic Schlagman, Head of Social Action on 020 7535 0270.

Community Sponsorship Working alongside the Home Office and various Local Authorities, we are building community groups to support the resettlement of some of the most vulnerable refugees in Britain. Expand We are currently delivering one project in Lambeth, and working on future projects in Westminster and Brent. We are recruiting volunteers with good local knowledge of boroughs we are working in. You must have availability during the week to deliver the project, and ideally some expertise (or a strong willingness to learn) in employment support, benefit support, health support, renting and housing (including furnishing accommodation), language support, and schooling. To find out more please contact Nic Schlagman, Head of Social Action, on 020 7535 0270.
Asylum Seekers Drop-In One Sunday afternoon each month, we welcome families who have been made destitute while seeking asylum in the UK. Expand One Sunday afternoon each month, West London Synagogue welcomes families who have been made destitute while seeking asylum in the UK. We provide a hot meal, grocery vouchers, clothing, companionship, and advice for parents and children who have fled life-threatening violence or persecution in the countries they are from. We count on volunteers from our community to provide a warm welcome, to people who are commonly shunned by the larger community as a consequence of the popular misconception that they are here by choice. How you can help: There are many ways to support our Drop-In Centre, from donating nappies and clothing (in good, wearable condition), to pitching in at the centre on the third Sunday of each month. Keep in mind that all of our volunteers were once first-timers, so inexperience need not be an impediment to your participation! All sessions run from 1:30pm through 5:00pm at WLS. To volunteer, or enquire further, please contact: [email protected]
