from memory to meaning and passion to purpose
Welcome to the April newsletter from The Together Plan, where memory, people, and purpose come together. In this edition, we reflect on an evocative evening of art, photography, and testimony that brings lost Jewish communities back into focus, and we spotlight two inspiring volunteers, Olivia Boyd and Natalie Baskin, whose dedication and personal commitment to our work shine through. We also share an important update on the Nesvizh Memorials Project, as efforts continue to honour its once-thriving Jewish community. Alongside this, eight supporters prepare to take on a powerful night climb of Mount Snowdon to raise vital funds and support the charity’s ongoing mission.
All the best,
The Together Plan team
