Meir Panim (in Hebrew: 'to bring a smile to someone's face') is the largest supplementary welfare services agency in Israel. It was established in 2001 to offer a realistic solution to the growing poverty crisis in Israel that affects over one and a half million people across the country. Meir Panim is committed to provide both immediate and long-term relief to the impoverished of Israel - young and old alike, regardless their religion or race - via its dynamic range of food and social service programmes in distressed cities throughout Israel, all aimed at helping the needy with dignity and respect.

For the last decade, tens of thousands of disadvantaged men, women, and children - including Holocaust survivors have turned to Meir Panim as their source of hope for a brighter future. Meir Panim's unwavering commitment to the people of Israel has helped bring lasting relief to the poor, encouragement for the less fortunate, new opportunities for struggling families, and hope for children in need.

Meir Panim UK is based in London and the formation of a Northern branch would be a worthwhile initiative. Volunteers are required to help launch this.
