Nefesh Network, formerly the Norrice Lea helpline, was set up to be the heart beat of the community at HGSS - a comprehensive and completely confidential support network within the shul for all our members, reaching out in times of simcha as well as sadness. The network is resourced through our members and is available for anyone in the community to access help on a variety of issues from shopping, to accompanying on hospital trips or other visits, to providing company or someone to talk to - in fact, whatever it is, it's worth asking, we might be able to help. The aim is that as many members as possible will feel comfortable in benefiting from or contributing to the service, or indeed, both.

The initial point of contact is generally through the phone line which is manned on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings, but leaving an answerphone message at other times will result in a call back within one working day. If you feel we might be able to help you, a member of your family or anyone else in the community, or you would like to become part of our volunteer team please ring us. Chazan Avromi visits members in hospital - so please contact us if someone you know is in hospital or unwell and would like to receive visits.
