Samantha Simmonds, Ronni Ancona, Sarah Brown among lineup for online UJIA events
'We’re so excited to have such an amazing line up of inspirational women joining UJIA for these events,' said women’s chair and trustee Karen Goodkind
Broadcaster Samantha Simmonds, the comedian Ronni Ancona and Sarah Brown are among the lineup of public figures to join online events to be hosted by United Jewish Israel Appeal (UJIA) this summer.
UJIA Women’s chair and trustee Karen Goodkind said: “We’re so excited to have such an amazing line up of inspirational women joining UJIA for these events.
“There’s no doubt that lockdown has been tough and has had a massive impact on how we live our lives. This a great chance for women to get together online, laugh and be inspired and all while supporting UJIA projects in both Israel and the UK.”
A raffle will be drawn on 6 July to conclude the final event, with the winner receiving a five night stay at the Shaharut Spa Hotel in Israel.
