Mitzvah Day has joined forces with the Hindu community to promote the UK's biggest day of volunteering.

Around 20,000 volunteers are expected to support over 250 projects across the country on Mitzvah Day and the first Sewa Day on November 21.

Lynne Featherstone, Mike Freer and Matthew Offord are among MPs who have pledged their volunteering services.

Another supporter is David Baddiel, who said: "It's fantastic to see the Jewish and Hindu communities coming together in this way. I congratulate the organisers of both Sewa and Mitzvah days for having the gumption to get up off the couch to make a real difference to ordinary people."
