Mitzvah Day Award

Last week we were incredibly proud to be invited to attend the Mitzvah Day Awards.

We were nominated by Blue Weiss from CitizensUK “Hendon School is a school with a large diverse student population, in an area with a large orthodox Jewish population. The Mitzvah Day activity was not only about collecting for charity but celebrating inter-faith positivity & building bridges across difference. Not only did Hendon collect 3000 items, but an enormous donation also - they got 20 students from a very diverse school to represent Mitzvah Day & diligently sort food into Kosher & non-kosher. Both Gift (a Jewish charity) and Southgate Mosque were overwhelmed by the donations and show of solidarity. This to me was 'stronger together' in action”

This award reflects our school’s commitment to fostering interfaith cooperation, empathy, and social responsibility through acts of kindness. Winning this award was an honour, but the real reward is knowing that we have begun a movement for change. We look forward to continuing our work, inspired by the belief that together, we can create a better world for all.
