The Fed is delighted to announce the appointment of David Eventhall as an Honorary Patron and to welcome Oz Shtrosberg to its Board of Trustees.
Following his recent decision to step down from the Board after many years of dedicated service as Trustee and Vice Chair, David Eventhall has accepted a new role as Honorary Patron of The Fed. He joins the organisation’s distinguished Honorary Patrons, Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis KBE and Mark Adlestone OBE.
David’s appointment recognises decades of commitment to The Fed and his significant contribution to the organisation’s growth and development.
Fed Chairman Bernie Yaffe said:
“Since our merger back in 2010, David has been instrumental in helping us develop The Fed into the world-class organisation it is today. His genuine passion for the organisation, together with his ongoing interest in the welfare of our residents and staff, are some of the unique qualities he possesses.
His wise and objective advice, together with his balanced and positive outlook, have been a huge help to me and the rest of the Board over this period and, together with his generous and unstinting support, David is an outstanding ambassador for the organisation. We are truly delighted that he has agreed to accept this role.”
Mark Cunningham, Chief Executive of The Fed, also paid tribute to David’s longstanding contribution and that of the wider Eventhall family.
“David has continued the family tradition of supporting the most vulnerable in our community and has helped the charity make a difference to countless lives. We were sad to lose David from our Board of Trustees, where his advice, kindness and understanding had such an impact and helped us develop as an organisation.
I am extremely happy that David will become an Honorary Patron and continue to champion The Fed and help inform how we support the community for the years ahead.”
Alongside this appointment, The Fed is pleased to welcome Oz Shtrosberg as a new Trustee.
Born in Israel, Oz spent part of his teenage years in Johannesburg before settling in Manchester, which he has called home ever since. A Chartered Financial Planner and CFP™ professional, he is a Director of MAG Financial Services, a boutique financial planning firm specialising in retirement planning, investment management and inheritance tax planning.
Oz brings valuable expertise in finance, governance and strategic planning to the Board and has a strong record of supporting the Manchester Jewish community through voluntary work with a range of charitable organisations.
Having served on The Fed’s Finance Subcommittee for the past four years, Oz has developed a deep understanding of the charity’s work and impact across the community.
Speaking about his appointment, Oz said:
“Having served on The Fed’s Finance Subcommittee for the past four years, I have seen first-hand the breadth and importance of the charity’s work. I’m honoured to join the Board of Trustees and look forward to supporting The Fed’s mission and helping ensure it continues to meet the needs of our community in the years ahead.”
Oz’s connection to The Fed is also a personal one. He is married to Dalya, whose grandmother is a resident at Heathlands, making the organisation’s work especially close to the family’s heart. They have two young children, Tali and Ilan.
Welcoming Oz to the Board, Bernie Yaffe said:
“Oz has already made an excellent contribution through his work on our Finance Subcommittee. His professional expertise, commitment to community service and understanding of The Fed’s values make him an excellent addition to the Board, and we look forward to working with him in his new role.”
These appointments reflect The Fed’s commitment to strong leadership, effective governance and continuing to provide outstanding support to vulnerable people across the Jewish community
