OUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

meaningful lives for all those who use our services.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE?
■ Over 800 people attended a three hour
interactive session in the summer.
■ Over 180 volunteers attended a 1 1 /2 hour
session in November.
■ More sessions have just been held for
those who couldn’t attend.
■ Every new member of staff and new volunteer
will attend a session on induction
MEETING THE MAYOR

Councillor Brian Schama, the
Mayor of Barnet met Jewish
Care residents and staff in
October.
The Mayor and Mayoress were
given a tour of the Holocaust Survivors’
Centre and Ella & Ridley Jacobs
House in Hendon by Daniel
Casson, head of business development,
before making their way to
the Maurice and Vivienne Wohl
about how they can work together in different
ways to promote meaningful lives.
■ Every team will have a further session
with their manager to discuss what they
can do to work together to promote wellbeing,
enhance value and strengthen our
community through their work.
■ All volunteers have been invited to attend
further sessions over the next 6-8 months.
Together, we can make Jewish Care
a better place to work!
Campus in Golders Green.
There, the Mayor was met by
Simon Morris and Neil Taylor, director
of care and community services. He
saw the campus including the Otto
Schiff care home and the Selig Court
independent living apartments.
Simon said: “We wanted the
Mayor to meet the residents and
see the range and quality of care
that Jewish Care provides in Barnet.”
THE COLOUR PURPLE
T
ake a look at some of the
places our purple thread
has been spotted recently.
The purple thread is a powerful
symbol of Jewish Care and how it is
the thread that runs through the
community, reminding people that
if they ever need our help, we will
do everything in our power to be
there. It features in our latest
fundraising and marketing campaign.
Are you remembering to
wear it? Where will you take it?
