The Fed.
Befriending clients in the community
Come and join our team of over 500 fantastic FED volunteers! We are in need of volunteers to visit clients in their own homes in the Jewish community across Greater Manchester. Whether you have an hour or two a week or an hour or so a month - we need YOU! You can make a difference to the lives of those who are lonely and isolated, of all ages - through chatting, playing games, going for a walk, reminiscing, and simply being together. We will be led by you - do you want to support children, young people, people living with mental health, people who are having a temporary set back, older people, carers, people living with physical illness, residents in our care home? Befriending takes all forms - we will find the perfect role for you.
Not sure which role suits you or need a little friendly help? Please contact Angie at angie@jvn.org.uk for London or Rebecca at manchester@jvn.org.uk for Manchester.

Charity
The Fed.
The Fed is the leading social care charity in Greater Manchester for Jewish people of all ages and from all backgrounds. Since 1867 we have focused on being a professional organisation offering excellent support services in a warm and caring atmosphere.
Our aim is to improve the quality of life for the many people in need, who seek advice, support and guidance. These people include: lonely and isolated people, carers, children at risk or with special needs, the bereaved, people with mental health problems or physical disabilities, people in financial crisis, people in hospital or care homes, and people living with dementia.
Alongside support in Heathlands, our care home and community hub, we offer support to people in their own homes using our valued and dedicated team of over 500 volunteers who underpin almost every area of our work.
