Take a look at what’s been going on at our social care charity The Fed in the last few weeks.
Manchester recently brought together leading cultural and civic partners for a powerful evening marking the launch of ‘The Nuremberg Women: The Trial That Brought the Nazis to Justice’ by acclaimed Author, Natalie Livingstone.
The May event was a joint initiative between The Fed’s My Voice project, Imperial War Museum North, the Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany in Manchester, and The Jewish News. Guests heard from Natalie Livingstone in conversation with Dr Toby Simpson OBE, exploring the untold stories of the women who played a critical role in shaping how the world understood justice in the aftermath of the Holocaust.
The discussion highlighted the courage and determination of five extraordinary women whose contributions to the Nuremberg Trials helped bring the horrors of genocide to light and ensured the voices of survivors were heard.
The annual Farm Day welcomed more than 400 people. Guests of all ages enjoyed a wide range of activities, including donkey rides, face painting, hands-on craft sessions, and more. The ever-popular petting zoo proved a highlight, featuring alpacas, sheep, chickens, rabbits, a goat, and even reptiles!
Six amazing volunteers successfully completed the National Three Peaks 24-Hour Challenge in an impressive 23 hours and 57 minutes! The group – Richard, Simon, Steven, Daniel, Benji, and Raphi – covered all three of the UK’s highest peaks, raising over £18,000 for The Fed’s My Voice project. Their achievement included 1,997 metres climbed and 36.44 kilometres walked, and while most people rested overnight, the team ascended Scafell Pike in darkness before travelling overnight to Snowdon for their final climb.
A powerful evening of reflection, resilience, and hope took place in June as Eliya Cohen, who survived 505 days in Hamas captivity, addressed a joint event hosted by Magen David Adom UK (MDA) and The Fed Young Patrons.
