Jewish outreach group raises £1million in 24 hours
Aish UK thanked donators for their 'amazingly generous support' during the one-day appeal
Aish UK have succeeded in their ambitious attempt to raise £1 million in just 24 hours.
Every £1 donated was matched by a £4 donation from 3 separate donors.
The total amount raised was an impressive £1,115,450.
The appeal ran from 3pm on Monday through to 3pm on Tuesday.
On their Facebook page, Aish said: “Your amazingly generous support and contributions to the cause will help us to keep on filling the pages of your #aishstory and creating incredible experiences and memories for thousands of young Jews in the UK.”
Good morning everyone! Thank you to all of you who believe nothing is impossible and have generously supported our campaign so far!
Here's a little treat for you all! This is what happens when you give us 24h to raise £1M!
We're currently over £680,000 – please keep donating at www.charidy.com/aishuk
