The Anne Frank Trust UK is an education charity that empowers young people aged 9 to 15 to challenge all forms of prejudice.
We reach over 90,000 young people a year across Britain and have outstanding evidence of our impact on antisemitism and other forms of hatred. Founded in 1991 by friends of Anne’s father Otto, we are uniquely licensed to use the Diary and Frank family photographs for educational purposes in the UK.
The next stage of our growth as a charity will involve generating a strategy up to the centenary of Anne Frank’s birth in 2029.
Our current chair Daniel Mendoza, who was awarded an OBE for the role, reaches the end of his term later this year.
We are now seeking an inspiring and collaborative chair who believes strongly in our mission and our potential. You will bring an impressive track record of leadership at a strategic level, strong networks for securing donors and in-kind support, warm and wide-ranging social skills, and a sound understanding of Jewish life.

Thank you for helping to make Jewish News the leading source of news and opinion for the UK Jewish community. Today we're asking for your invaluable help to continue putting our community first in everything we do.
For as little as £5 a month you can help sustain the vital work we do in celebrating and standing up for Jewish life in Britain.
Jewish News holds our community together and keeps us connected. Like a synagogue, it’s where people turn to feel part of something bigger. It also proudly shows the rest of Britain the vibrancy and rich culture of modern Jewish life.
You can make a quick and easy one-off or monthly contribution of £5, £10, £20 or any other sum you’re comfortable with.
100% of your donation will help us continue celebrating our community, in all its dynamic diversity...
Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
