Plans for an online hub of Jewish life and a site that co-ordinates charitable giving were among the initial results of a scheme designed to groom potential leaders of British Jewry.

The Gamechangers project - run by the Jewish Leadership Council's training division, Lead - aimed to develop participants for senior leadership roles.

An audience at a celebration evening to mark the end of the inaugural programme were told of plans for an app or website that could bring together all aspects of Jewish life in Britain in one place.

The team of 16 "gamechangers" spent more than 18 months meeting leading figures from business, politics and the arts, and travelled to Israel where they held discussions with Knesset members and rabbinical leaders.
