One of the UK’s biggest Reform synagogues teamed up with a London mosque to provide extra beds for the homeless during this week’s cold snap.
Volunteers at West London Synagogue, near Marble Arch, in central London, worked with counterparts from the nearby Al-Manaar mosque for the emergency effort.
Nic Schlagman, the head of social action and interfaith at West London Synagogue, said the area had one of the country’s highest concentration of rough sleepers.
Mr Schlagman co-ordinated efforts between the mosque and charity Crisis at Christmas to transport 100 beds and sets of sheets to Al-Manaar.
