How we started

More than ten years ago, Sarah Wilks, Beryl Sharpe (Susex Jewish Representative Council) Rabbi Efune and Rabbi Collick were attending a choral concert at New Church Road, and during the interval were discussing the community, and they felt that what was needed was a support system to help people, especially those who were housebound

From that small 'acorn' a huge 'oak' has grown. Helping Hands is there for all the Jewish members of the local community.

Need a list for an appointment with the doctor, dentist, hospital? Call Helping Hands!

Would you like to go shopping but can't get to the shops? Call Helping Hands, they will take you! Is your sink blocked, is your computer not behaving itself, need a new light bulb fitted? Call Helping Hands

With the help of donations and coffee mornings we raised enough money to buy the Helping Hands Community Bus that can be 'hired' for use by private individuals, for example, to take a group to the theatre

There is no hiring fee, hence the quotation marks. All we ask for is a returnable deposit and that the passengers pay for the petrol. On alternate months, a tea is held at the AJEX Centre where everyone is assured of a warm welcome, tea, sandwiches, cake and entertainment

Our volunteers are amazing and are always willing to help. They are greatly appreciated by our clients

If you are interested in any of the above, or would like to join our team of volunteers, please phone us on 01273 747722 or email helping-hands@helping-hands,org Janice Greenwood
