Grants and Donations

Our community runs two charities. SAMS itself is a registered and we also have a youth charity SAMaJYC 'Say Magic.'

SAMaJYC – St Albans Masorti Jewish Youth Charity gratefully acknowledges the support of the organisations listed below:

  • Lord Ashdown Charitable settlement
    SAMaJYC is delighted to announce that we have received our first grant! The grant is from the Lord Ashdown Charitable settlement. The grant for up to £500 is to assist in subsidising those who, for reasons of financial hardship, would not be able to attend our youth camps. As a community we believe that equality of access to our activities is a central to all we do. We are therefore most appreciative of the Lord Ashdown Charitable settlement’s assistance to our subsidy fund.
     

  • Children’s Aid Committee
    Children’s Aid Committee SAMaJYC is delighted to announce that we are now receiving a grant from the Children’s Aid Committee (CAC) Charitable Fund. They have now provided funding for a 2nd year, and this is being used directly to support our youth activities for, by providing for staff and premises. The SAMaJYC Fundraising Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone whose hard work and support have made obtaining this grant possible. At their visit to SAMS in 2005, the CAC were particularly impressed by the participation and commitment of our young people and their parents. With this continued involvement there is a chance of further funding. We should like to take this opportunity to thank CAC for their support.
     

  • Faith Communities Capacity Building Fund (FCCBF)
    Following our application to FCCBF in November 2005, they have provided us with funding to:-
     

    • Encourage women in our community to attend the ‘Atid’ Adult leadership training in community management

    • Support our under 18’s to training in youth leadership, by undertaking the 2 year ‘Meltam’ course.

    • Provide INSET training days for our Sunday School faith teachers to provide cultural awareness to children.

    • Acquire a PC and printer to provide printed material for the above courses and support the administration of our organisation (including dissemination of information about our organisation to the wider community).

We should like to thank FCCBF for the their support with above, particularly for the encouragement it brings to our women and in developing teenagers to participate in our community development.

  • Awards for All, Big Lottery Fund

    We are delighted to announce that SAMaJYC has received a grant of ££3508 from Awards for All, the Big Lottery Fund, to fund the professional fees of an experienced community worker.
