Seeking Volunteer Opportunities for Christmas 2024 – JVN
As the festive season approaches, Jewish Volunteering Network (JVN) is seeking potential volunteering opportunities to support local communities. They are looking for organisations or initiatives in the Barnet area that are seeking volunteers for Christmas-related projects.
Some potential areas of focus include:
• Food bank support

• Other relevant causes
If you have any information about such opportunities, please share them with them via Angie info@jvn.org.uk. or 07919 566394 Your input will help us connect volunteers with meaningful projects and make a positive impact on our community.

Get involved in the Your Local Health Team campaign
You may have seen a big new campaign which launched recently to help local residents in Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, and Islington find out how best to get the health care they need, whether that’s via their GP, their high street pharmacy, other health professionals, or online.
I am writing to ask for your help in sharing the campaign with your networks and by taking part in some short films to spread the word.
The ‘Your Local Health Team’ campaign, which is being coordinated by the North Central London Integrated Care Board with the help of some great backing from our local councils and NHS trusts, brings together key messages on how to access primary care, get vaccinated, and stay well.
Over the next 18 months, social media, outdoor ads, local council magazine articles, flyers, and engagement events will invite NCL residents to find out more on our campaign hub.
We’d love you to share our Your Local Health Team campaign messages on your social media channels, using#YourLocalHealthTeam and, where relevant, #GetProtectedGetVaccinated and tag North Central London ICS so we can like your posts!
I am hoping you will share the campaign key messages with your network via WhatsApp or however you usually communicate. Here are our messages for Phase 1 of the campaign which runs up to the end of December.
