Manchester charity chief made new JLC Trustee
Mark Adlestone of The Fed will contribute to the Jewish Leadership Council's work in the care sector
The Jewish Leadership Council this week announced a new trustee.
As chair of The Fed in Manchester, Mark Adlestone’s expertise will contribute to the organisation’s efforts to address the challenges facing the community’s care sector. He oversaw the merger between The Fed and Heathlands Village and his “guidance will enrich Chairman Jonathan Goldstein’s focus on ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of the community”, according to a statement.
Mark Adlestone said he was “thrilled and honoured” to have been appointed by the new chair in one of his first moves since taking over last month. “Since joining as a Council Member nearly three years ago, I have developed a much greater appreciation and awareness of communal responsibility and hope that my Northern presence will offer a slightly different and broader perspective to my fellow Trustees,” he said.
Goldstein said: “I am delighted Mark has agreed to serve as a trustee. Over the years, Mark has made an invaluable contribution to the JLC membership and our entire community and I have no doubt he will continue to do so in his new role. Mark’s considerable business acumen and experience make him a valuable asset to the JLC.”
Adlestone will also help drive the JLC’s regional outreach by working with the External Affairs team and colleagues across the country.

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.
