NNLS Tech Cafe | 9.30am-12.30pm

Are you tech-savvy and interested in helping others? We’re looking for volunteers to help lend a hand at our NNLS community Tech Café!
We need friendly faces who can help with:
* Basic computer skills
* iPad and smartphone use
* Navigating social media
* Troubleshooting common tech issues
Whether you’re experienced or just good with gadgets, your help could make a big difference. It’s a great way to give back, connect with other, and share your knowledge.
Could you give 1-3 hours of your time between 9.30am – 12.30pm?
NNLS Family Outdoor Litter Pick | 3.00-4.00pm
Victoria Park: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER
Join us for a special Mitzvah Day outdoor litter pick with NNLS! Bring the whole family for a meaningful and fun afternoon as we come together to care for our environment. We’ll provide bags and gloves, just bring your enthusiasm and a litter picker if you have one! Perfect for all ages, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn about tikkun olam (repairing the world) in a hands-on way. Meet us at the playground closest to Long Lane at 3pm (weather permitting).

What is Mitzvah Day?
A Mitzvah, literally, is a commandment in Jewish law. However, it is often used to mean a good deed or an act of kindness, which is an integral part of Jewish life and is the basis for Mitzvah Day.
Mitzvah Day is the UK’s largest faith-led day of social action. Over 55,000 people around the world come together to give our time, to make a difference to the community around us. We introduce people to social action, to their neighbours and to local charities, setting up projects, which address real needs. Jewish-led, we bring together people of all faiths and backgrounds, to volunteer side-by-side, building longstanding, genuine relationships.
