Sexual abuse support organisation Migdal Emunah secures further funding
Lloyds Bank Foundation will help finance the organisation for the next three years
Migdal Emunah, the only charity in the UK providing a support service specifically for Jewish children, women and men who have experienced sexual abuse, has secured a further three years funding through the Lloyds Bank Foundation.
The charity’s CEO Erica Marks said: “This was an extremely competitive process, and we are hugely grateful to Lloyds Bank Foundation for their steadfast support of our work, which will benefit so many clients over the next three years.”
Migdal Emunah is also celebrating its tenth year of operation and has launched a donor campaign to raise further ongoing financial support. The ‘Help ME’ initiative aims to secure regular monthly donations of £4, to enable the organisation to reach 100 clients in 2023 – a number fast approaching as demand for services, care and support through its two bases in London and Manchester continues to increase.
Migdal Emunah was founded in February 2013 and recently won a LimeCulture Award for work in protecting and safeguarding children.

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.
