The West London Synagogue does not help people based on any religious lines. We instead focus on helping two main groups of people: the homeless and asylum seekers. We do this through three regular events which is where the money donated will be going:

1. Home cooked meals for the homeless: Westminster, where the charity is based has the highest rate of homelessness in the UK. We help the homeless community by making 100 home cooked meals. These are delivered to distribution sites and given to the most at risk in the area where there is also a shortage of soup kitchens. Our aim is to grow this so by the end of 2022 we are feeding 200 people weekly.

2. Asylum Seeker Family Drop In: Every month we give toiletries, food, food vouchers, counselling, clothes and other essential items to Asylum Seeker families. The reason we give specially to Asylum Seekers with children is that they are the most at risk to fall into poverty. This is because the government only grants the parents £5 a week to support each child which simply isn't enough. This problem is especially bad as due to their asylum seeker status they are not legally allowed to work. We normally help around 150 asylum seekers a month. Due to our limited resources we cannot afford to provide for more than that so the money raised will also help us reach out target of helping 250 people monthly. 

3. LGBTQI+ Asylum Seeker Drop In: This is our newest event and it is for the members of the LGBTQI+ asylum seeker community. People can of course come to the family drop as well as the LGBTQI+ drop in but while the other event was focused on tackling poverty this event targets discrimination. We noticed during our other asylum seeker event members of the LGBTQI+ asylum seeker community faced intense discrimination. We have created one of the first safe social spaces for LGBTQI+ Asylum Seeker's and offer them home cooked meals with each other and put on activities such as bowling. This helps foster a place where people can feel safe, create a community of tolerant people and help escape the discrimination they have faced especially in some of their home countries.
