Football legends unite to support Laniado Hospital
Former Spurs players Jamie O'Hara, Ruel Fox and Arsenal's Jermaine Pennant in charity kick-off to raise £30,000 for a new maternity unit
Football fans are in for a treat this Sunday as ex-professionals and community players team up for Laniado Hospital UK’s annual Football Legends Match, partnered by Jewish News.
Taking place at a local north west London football club, the match will raise funds for the new sheltered maternity unit at Laniado Hospital in Netanya, Israel.
The North London Whites and Reds will feature a blend of former football stars including Jamie O’Hara and Jermaine Pennant, together with passionate supporters, all committed to making a real difference through sport.
Proceeds from the day will help provide safer care for thousands of new mothers and newborns.
There will also be children’s games on three astroturf pitches, kosher food stalls, and a kids’ penalty shootout on the main pitch after the game.
Simon Silver, Laniado UK chief executive said: “This event brings the community together in such a special way. Whether you’re playing or cheering, you’re helping save lives and bring new ones into the world.”

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.
