The Jewish Volunteering Network is mourning the loss of its chairman, David Lazarus, who has died after contracting coronavirus
In a statement, the network, which matches volunteers to organisations, said Mr Lazarus “cared passionately about promoting and expanding volunteering in the Jewish community and beyond.”
A trustee since its launch, he had chaired it for seven years.
A marketing professional, Mr Lazarus responded to a growing need for volunteers, JVN said, driving it “to address and take on wider responsibilities within the Jewish community across the local boroughs and nationally”
