Religious organisations came together to celebrate a Muslim-led day of social action.

Sadaqa Day, the equivalent of the Jewish 'Mitazvah Day', saw ten women from eight charities and institutions, Muslims, Jews and Christians go to Dunkirk, France, and take five cars filled with ‘goods’ to the Women’s Refugee Centre.

Delivering items such as tents, underwear, handmade teddy bears and colouring books, the combined Muslim, Jewish and Christian group spent two days at the Centre.

'Mitzvah Day' Founder Laura Marks, 57, said, “Little by little, more Jews and Muslims than ever before are working together through social action.

During this time, we have seen trust grow, prejudices disappear and firm friendships start to form.”

The Mayor of Barnet, Brian Salinger, was seen helping the Jewish Volunteering Network and worshippers from Hendon Mosque to pack items for the Sufra North West London Food Bank.

Meanwhile, volunteers from Norwood, the Jewish Volunteering Network and Hendon Mosque braved the snow to turn up at the Kennedy Leigh Family Centre to pack donated toiletries and clothing for refugees across the globe.

More than 30 volunteers from across Jewish and Muslim communities worked together to pack over 100 parcels for refugees.
