Chesed is all about acts of kindness, ensuring we care for our community, wider society and the world we live in. Our activities depend on our incredible team of volunteers, who give their time, care and energy to everything they do.
There are a range of volunteering opportunities at your local US synagogue, at our new Chesed Hub in Bushey and at our Central Office in North Finchley. We welcome regular volunteers and also have opportunities for occasional or ad hoc volunteering.
Activities include:
- Calling or visiting an elderly or isolated person
- Helping someone get to a shul service or event
- Visiting people in hospital
- Helping with shopping
- Bereavement befriending
- Helping a new mum
- Cooking meals for those in need
- Packing food parcels
- Driving – either delivering food parcels or driving members
- Donating goods
- Sorting donations
- Helping with our provision for asylum seekers and refugees
- Environment impact and sustainability activities through our Dorot programme

We provide full training and some posts require an Enhanced DBS check.
