The Director of the Antisemitism Policy Trust has said he was “honoured” to be awarded the UJS Alumni Inspiring Dedication to Community Award at last night’s UJS student awards.

Former UJS Campaigns Director Danny Stone told Jewish News: “Working at UJS was one of the greatest jobs I ever had.

“Having a platform to both work with and inspire activists but also to head major anti-racist campaigns in the sector was something I will never forget.

“To be recognised by my former union means a great deal to me. I am delighted they think I am worthy.”

I dedicated my award to former Chair Alan Senitt who remains such an important beloved part of my UJS life.

The Alumni Inspiration Dedication to Community Award was established by UJS in honour of the former chair of Lloyds Bank and former Chair of UJS Trustees Sir Victor Blank.

The award is given to a member of the UJS alumni community who has dedicated their time and energy to the Jewish community and has inspired others to do the same.

Former award winner, ex-Labour MP Luciana Berger congratulated Danny on his win tweeting: “You should have had it first, so very deserved. Lovely, as ever, to share in your achievements.

“Alan would have been kvelling.”
