Jewish Volunteering Network was Judy's brainchild. She was involved in volunteering all her life - with the Samaritans, Citizens Advice Bureau and also in the local and wider Jewish community. Judy was married with four children, had a PhD in computing and psychology, wrote three books on diverse subjects and had a varied career in academia, market research, and coaching. Judy founded JVN because she saw volunteering as an integral Jewish value; her vision was to promote volunteering in the Jewish community. In doing so she realised that it was essential to match volunteers and volunteer-positions sensitively. Jewish Volunteering Network strives to realise this vision and to continue her good work in her name.
