This year we hope that you will support the following 2 charities.
 

Generation 2 Generation (G2G)
Generation 2 Generation (G2G) is a Holocaust Education Charity, established to empower second and third generation Holocaust survivor descendants to present their family histories to a wide variety of audiences. Through the use of survivor testimony, we aim to keep these Holocaust stories alive and promote the importance of inclusivity and human rights.

Their Goals

• To ensure that the experiences of the Holocaust are not forgotten or denied.

• To reach educational, civic, religious and community organisations interested in hearing Holocaust testimonyTo enable every school student to learn from the experience of a Holocaust survivor as told by a close family member or friend.

• To promote the values of inclusivity, empathy and understanding.

​

What they do

• They provide schools and religious, community and civic institutions with speakers who have a personal connection with Holocaust survivors.

• They train our speakers to deliver engaging and age-appropriate presentations to a variety of audiences, using survivor testimony, artefacts and multimedia tools.

• They work in collaboration with other groups, organisations and charities engaged in Holocaust and human rights education.

Their Story

In 2016 four women came together with a vision. They recognised the need for descendants of survivors to have a significant role in Holocaust education and to ensure that their family stories continued to be told. They recognised the value of recounting personal histories to engage young audiences. They also understood the importance of using eye-witness testimony to ensure the voices of the victims and the survivors continue to be heard. 

Sharman Berwald, Bernice Krantz, Helen Stone and Lesley Urbach joined forces to create Generation 2 Generation (G2G).  Soon after, they were joined by Simon Waxman and then Anita Peleg. Together they developed the concept and in January 2020 G2G became a charity, recruiting a Board of Trustees and communications and social media experts, Suzy Goodwin and Katie Palmer.   Their planning committee has continued to grow into a team of skilled professionals and G2G has developed into a committed community of survivors, speakers, volunteers, trustees, advisors, mentors and trainers.

First Hug
Every year, hundreds of babies are hospitalised alone in hospitals throughout Israel.
The volunteers at First Hug provide them with the human contact and maternal embraces that are so crucial for their development and recovery.

Utilising a wide network of hundreds of specially trained volunteers, the organisation now provides indispensable support not only to infants and children, but also to civilians and soldiers who are wounded and hospitalised without the presence of family.
