World Jewish Relief supporters have been given a behind the scenes look at an enterprise which, in wholesale value, has provided £26 million-plus worth of essential supplies to communities in need since 2003.

More than 30 WJR donors toured the Neasden warehouse for the Gifts in Kind project, seeing goods being sorted and repacked.

Volunteers are crucial to the venture with 120 regularly undertaking packing duties and 18 driving.

At the destination end, the goods are distributed under the supervision of local social and community workers.
