The United Synagogue’s Chesed ‘Essential Food Parcel Project’ has been a success.

Over 3,200 items were donated by members of different US communities.

Food items include cereal, rice, milk, pasta and tuna, non-food items are washing powder, handwash and tissues. There were 349 tins of baked beans collected. The project is essential to help a growing number of people affected by food poverty and cost of living crisis. US Chesed’s work supports 150 families and individuals with weekly food parcels.

Manchester Lubavitch Day Camp was held at various locations for Boys and Girls around the Broughton Park area.

Project Lily double boost for Mental Health Training Campaign

Project Lily’s campaign to provide free mental health training to the Jewish community has received a boost this week.

The initiative has received certification from Continuing Professional Development on top of a significant National Lottery grant.

The CPD certification service praised Project Lily’s mental health training, describing its comprehensive course having a “clear structure and learning opportunities”.

Jonathan Dove, Clinical Director of Project Lily, said, “We are facing a storm of mental health challenges with unprecedented levels of uncertainty and anxiety. Our free online training is a simple way for people to equip themselves with vital skills to respond to mental health issues before they escalate. Our CPD accreditation is a wonderful endorsement of our training and will hopefully encourage more people to join one of our courses.”

Project Lily’s’ courses are delivered over Zoom ranging from 90 minutes to three hours.

Topics covered include mental health basics, stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD and self-care.

This accreditation comes after the lottery grant recognising the work Project Lily offers the community.

Lisa Radford, Operations and Development Director, commented, “We train people to respond, we support our trainees throughout, and of course we rapidly assess and treat more severe cases with appropriate therapy.” She added, “The current economic situation makes funding this work both harder and more important than ever. This vote of confidence from the National Lottery will make a big impact in our helping more people.” Website: www.projectlily.org.uk
