Providing care to the Jewish community
The Manchester Jewish Federation (The Fed) was established in 1867 and its volunteers provide support, advice and guidance to people in need, of all ages and from all sections of the community. The Fed is one of the largest of Attend’s member groups with around 500 volunteers.
