Kisharon Langdon appoints new fundraising director
Newly merged learning disabilities and autism charity appoints community professional Adam Overlander-Kaye into pivotal role
Newly formed charitable entity Kisharon Langdon has appointed a new director of fundraising.
Adam Overlander-Kaye is a previous fundraising and community development director at Jewish Care, former chief executive at ORT UK and is currently serving as the director of development at the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR).
Kisharon Langdon chief executive Richard Franklin said: “Following a rigorous selection process, Adam emerged as an excellent fit to lead our fundraising endeavours. We are confident that Adam’s leadership will support our fundraising efforts and contribute to the continued success of our organisation. I extend my sincere thanks to Carolyn Rozenberg and Jessica Levy for all they achieved during their time as co-directors of fundraising. They have played a material role in shaping our fundraising, and I look forward to Adam building upon their legacy.”
Overlander-Kaye said: “I understand the vital importance of the work carried out by Kisharon Langdon for so many people and their families. I eagerly anticipate playing my role in this exciting new chapter in the history of these merged and esteemed organisations.
“Kisharon Langdon undertakes profoundly significant work within our community, offering individuals the opportunity to fulfil their potential. I am immensely proud to be entrusted with the responsibility of nurturing existing donor relationships and forging new ones. Together, we will build upon the tireless efforts of our exceptional professional and voluntary team”.
Overlander Kaye’s appointment follows the recent appointments of Emily Haddock, as director of education and Michelle Janes as chief transformation officer (joining from the Jewish Leadership Council).
Franklin added: “That we are able to attract such calibre of talent it is a testament to their belief in Kisharon Langdon’s work and their own healthy ambition in helping us meet the considerable challenges ahead”.

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.
