Ex-Masorti chief to head fundraising at Nightingale Hammerson
Jeremy Kelly took the new role after several years as head of the Ben-Gurion University Fondation, with previous experience at JNF UK too
The former chairman of the Assembly of Masorti Synagogues is to head up communications and fundraising at Nightingale Hammerson, which runs two large Jewish residential care homes in London.
Jeremy Kelly, who took the new role after several years as chief executive of the Ben-Gurion University Foundation, has previously headed fundraising for JNF-UK and is well-known in the Jewish community.
“We are extremely fortunate to have someone as experienced as Jeremy joining our team,” said Nightingale Hammerson chief executive Helen Simmons. “His proven track record in increasing fundraising revenues and expanding support in his previous charity roles will be vital.”
Kelly said he was “delighted” to be joining the charity, which “occupies a special place in the heart of London’s Jewish community”.
The organisation owns and runs two care homes – Nightingale House in south London and Hammerson House in north London. The former last month received an ‘outstanding’ accreditation from the Care Quality Commission, while Hammerson House is currently undergoing a major redevelopment.

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.
