Community Support
If you have health, mental health, family, social or financial problems that you need guidance and support with please get in touch with us.
For carer support and care resources click here.
As a community we also rely on Volunteers who can befriend members at a time of need and it is a known fact that many of these volunteers have found new friends themselves from this experience. The volunteer may just visit someone on a regular basis, help with lifts to and from hospital appointments or to visit someone else in hospital, bring members to synagogue on Shabbat or for other events going on in the synagogue and we also have a team of specially trained volunteers who telephone and/or visit the bereaved. Being a volunteer can bring new skills to the community and also offer the opportunity for the volunteers to learn new skills and have new experiences.
Please do let us know if there is anything we can help you with
You can contact our Community Support Worker, Shiran Goren in confidence: shiran@radlettreform.org.uk or you can call her on 01923 927344
