Janine and Michael's fundraiser for The LJS Drop-In for Asylum Seeker Families

Team: Celebrating Michael and Janine’s 50th Wedding Anniversary
The Liberal Jewish Synagogue's Drop-In is a vital support hub for asylum-seeking families in London. With just one part-time staff member and more than 200 trained volunteers, we deliver monthly sessions which support 154 registered families from over thirty different countries, including 251 children.
At our Drop-In each family receives a warm meal, a small cash grant, travel reimbursement, nappies, shoes, school uniforms, clothes, toiletries, legal and baby bank referrals, community space, and access to a children’s play area. Our guests experience something too often denied to them: a safe, welcoming space where they can rest, connect, and be treated with dignity.
Unfortunately we only have enough funds to continue running until December 2025. It is no celebration that the need for our services continue, but the current state of the asylum system, it is evident that so many of our families rely on our support every month. Any support will go directly to supporting our families through our cash and travel reimbursements as well as purchasing food, nappies, and toiletries.
Thank you for considering donating to our valuable project.
