Come and take part in Mitzvah Day, the Jewish-led interfaith day of hands-on social action, open to people of all backgrounds.
Sunday 22 November
10.30am – 12.00 noon
Join us for a morning of community volunteering as we help care for the beautiful grounds of Willesden Jewish Cemetery.
Together we'll collect autumn leaves, twigs and weeds, helping to care for this unique heritage site while contributing to our composting programme, which supports the cemetery's gardens, biodiversity and wildlife.
Whether you're a regular volunteer or visiting for the first time, we'd love you to join us. No previous gardening experience is needed – just bring your enthusiasm!
Afterwards, enjoy light refreshments and the opportunity to learn a little more about the House of Life and the work we do.

Old, comfortable clothing suitable for gardening
Sturdy, closed-toe shoes or boots
Gardening gloves if you have them (we'll have some available if needed)
All equipment provided
Families welcome
This is a family-friendly event and people of all ages are welcome. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
