Impetus

The terrible synagogue attack in Manchester on Yom Kippur, one of the holiest days in the Jewish calendar, is deeply distressing.

Fundamental to our mission at Impetus is the belief in fairness and equity. Antisemitism has no place in our society, and we stand with our Jewish colleagues, trustees, portfolio partners, sector friends and all who are struggling and hurting right now and extend our love and solidarity towards them.

We stand firmly against all forms of hatred, violence, racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, any act that seeks to diminish, intimidate or terrorise lives or communities.
