Wizo expects to have 1,500 volunteers making door-to-door collections for next month’s Jewish Women’s Week campaign. The apposite theme for this year is “Help us open doors,” a reference to the opportunities the charity can provide for disadvantaged children in Israel. Over 50,000 young people aged from six months to 18 years benefit from its projects. Wizo will be hoping to exceed the £270,000 total in 2007, itself a six per cent rise on the previous year.
