Our Impact

We aim to have a positive impact on people’s lives through social action. This can be seen through Mitzvah Day’s goals: to engage in social action, to increase the amount of social action and allow more causes, areas and people to benefit from support.

Mitzvah Day supports the work of charities and community groups, increasing the effectiveness, sustainability and power of the charitable and voluntary work delivered by our charity partners.

A Few of Our Success Stories

Immanuel Project, Bradford

Immanuel Project, Bradford

The Immanuel Project in Bradford saw members of the Diocese of Leeds, Bradford Reform Synagogue, The Bradford Synagogue and the Bradford Muslim community came together to cook curry for guests, both rough-sleepers and homeless. Those cooking included Rev Jenny Ramsden and Bishop Toby Robinson and it gave people of faith the chance to bond over the hob, while helping those in need.

Barnet Multi Faith Forum

Barnet Multi Faith Forum

Middlesex University Interfaith Network and Barnet Multi Faith Forum planted snowdrops at St Mary’s Church, Hendon, to remember victims of the Holocaust. Members of the Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and Greek Orthodox faiths – including Barnet Deputy Mayor Nagus Narenthira – took part. It was a particularly poignant day, as the church had previously received support from faith community neighbours when its churchyard suffered a series of devastating acts of vandalism and desecration.

Gratitude

Gratitude

Food poverty charity, Gratitude and Garden On A Roll teamed up with faith communities and schools in a mass flower-planting project that brought children, families and people of different backgrounds together to aid local biodiversity, improve the environment and counteract climate change. In the days leading up to Mitzvah Day, all across Hertfordshire, volunteers performed weeding and raking of open areas of land and then, on the day itself, they engaged in mass planting of bulbs; daffodils, narcissus, crocuses and other seasonal flowers. Local Christian, Hare Krishna, Muslim and Jewish communities took part and their places of worship either had planters delivered to them opened up their garden/wooded areas to facilitate this initiative.

Inter Faith Week

Inter Faith Week

Mitzvah Day is proud to be an integral part of Inter Faith Week, taking place on the final day of this important moment for our faith communities. The aim is to highlight the good work done by local faith- based groups and organisations and, each year, many projects take place to jointly mark Inter Faith Week and Mitzvah Day. Just like Mitzvah Day, Inter Faith Week enables greater interaction between people of different backgrounds and helps develop integrated and neighbourly communities – opening new possibilities for collaboration and partnership through the year.
