Chana Charitable Trust Registered UK Charity Number 10701 | 23 Ravenhurst Avenue, London NW4 4EE
Welcome to our tenth car rally in aid of Chana, this year in Monte Carlo.
Having driven these routes before I know you will enjoy the magnificent scenery and I hope you enjoy this rally as much as the previous ones. It was my passion for sports cars and driving that gave me the idea to create the Chana Car Rally in 2004 as a fundraising event, but it is your continued support that has made them so successful.
Lissie and I have been involved with Chana for twelve years and have been privileged to contribute our part to the amazing work Chana does. The indefatigable trustees together with Carolyn and her entire team have created an organisation which supports and cares for couples living with the devastating effects of infertility, helping them financially and emotionally.
Aside from financial assistance for treatments, Chana offers a helpline and counselling Services, as well as the Chana Well Woman, Chana Well Teen and Chana Well Man Services, which offer information and support on reproductive health.
I am continuing my involvement this year and implore you to join me in supporting this vital cause. Chana makes a difference to people’s lives in so many ways and I know that they can do more with even more resources.
I thank you for joining us and hope you enjoy yourselves.

Dear Friends
We are delighted to welcome you once again to our annual Car Rally, this time, in Monte Carlo celebrating our tenth anniversary rally.
Eleven years ago Moshe Morris had an extraordinary and unique idea for a fundraising event but more importantly he had the tenacity and determination to see it through and make it an enormous success. Now in its tenth outing the Chana Rally is eagerly anticipated by its regular participants and attracts new and various participants from around the world. This year we welcome ‘drivers’ from New York and California, South Africa, Canada, Switzerland and of course the UK.
For over 20 years now Chana has managed to raise enough money to continue to develop its activities and assist couples facing the devastating effects of infertility. However, fundraising is becoming harder and harder. The National Health Service continues to implement their cutbacks in fertility treatments and couples undergoing investigations and treatments are suffering more than ever. At Chana it is our aim to help alleviate the financial strain as well as to help the couple navigate through the difficult challenges they have to deal with.
Chana has worked tirelessly over the years to address the needs of our growing community and cater for all types of fertility related problems and we continuously strive to provide the best help and advice with care and
sensitivity. With the development of specialist areas in sexual dysfunction and psychological problems Chana’s expert therapists and counsellors have also managed to help many couples without the need to resort to expensive and invasive treatment.
I am in awe of the number of people attending this year and the interest it has generated around the world. I am also overwhelmed by the support shown by our advertisers in this brochure. Your generosity is extremely encouraging and I am most grateful.
The creation of a child does not just alleviate the pain and suffering of an individual couple, it is the creation of generations of an entire family and beyond. A couple struggling with infertility fear for the loss of their dream of continuing their chain.
By supporting Chana you are taking part in this enormous mitzvah and becoming partners in the continuity of Klal Yisroel.
We all pray and hope that Chana’s services should no longer be needed but until such time our dreams and aspirations are to be able to assist every couple that turns to Chana.
I hope you enjoy yourselves in the knowledge that your generosity does make a difference.
Warmest Wishes
Benny Groszman

1 in 6 couples experience infertility...
with Chana, no one is alone.

1 in 6 couples experience infertility and couples in the Jewish community are no different. Chana, a registered UK charity, supports these couples and ensures that no one is left to deal with their situation alone without any support. Chana was founded 20 years ago and has since helped hundreds of couples cope with the challenges of primary and secondary infertility and has supported them every step of the way. In today’s climate of reduced and sometimes non-existent treatments available on the NHS, more and more people are turning to Chana for help and whilst we are a small charity, we have a big dream… With your help we are hoping to help many more couples in their quest to have the family they long for.
Chana is reliant on private donations.
About Chana...
To date, we are delighted that:
→ 595 babies have been born to couples supported by Chana
→ Chana has provided funding for 1065 medical treatments, otherwise unavailable under the NHS
→ Chana has helped 4,250 people; both service users and service providers
→ 85 new couples approached Chana last year alone
8
Chana Provides... → Funding to help meet the cost of fertility investigation,
treatments and counselling → Confidential counselling for individuals and couples → A confidential telephone helpline manned by experienced
male and female Chana support workers → An in-house scientific advisor offering specialist medical
support and information based on the latest research and treatment options
→ An expert medical advisory panel comprised of specialists in all fields of reproductive health
→ Educational sessions for the community, medical professionals and communal leaders including Rabbis and Rebbetzins.
→ Well Services offering men, women and teenagers a comprehensive service dealing with issues before they have an impact on one’s reproductive health. Often it is Chana’s unique therapeutic range of services, non-invasive and simply implemented, that can make the world of difference towards positive results.

“Chana is not about savinglives; it is about making them...”
- Bertie Goldbergsupporter of Chana
Each Chana client who is given financial assistance will receive between £2,000 - £10,000
towards their treatment.
A couple will have on average 32 sessions of professional and emotional support throughout
their fertility treatment; costing up to £1,900.
This year it will cost Chana £400,000 in direct costs supporting clients.
On average each couple requires 3 rounds of IVF treatment to fall pregnant;
costing approx £8,000 each.
Chana is the only organisation of its kind
in Europe to offer these services.10

“Thank you Chana for showing me that I had immeasurable
strengths of which I was previously unaware”
“It was helpful – my wife and I both had someone we could talk to privately”
“Thank you Chana for providing me with an outlet to express my
feelings, especially when sometimes no one else
understands…”
“Fertility treatment is hard; sharing
my feelings with an understanding support
worker made all the difference to me”
13
“I was in despair. Talking to another man made me feel
that it was ok to feel as I did.”
“My wife was so miserable after our treatment failed. I spoke to a male support
worker who helped me understand how to
support my wife.”
“The world of infertility is a lonely one… thank
you Chana for helping us face this challenge head
on every day”
“It’s not easy to ask for help but Chana made it a positive
experience…”
“Thank you for reminding me that I am not alone in
my situation”

From our
post bag....
Words cannot describe how grateful my husband
and I are for the gift of our precious daughter. Without
Chana’s help to support us through 2 treatments we
would not have been able to start the family that we
have longed for for the last 6 years. Your sensitivity at
every stage has been so appreciated. Thank you for
being there for us.
We would like to thank you sincerely
for your help and support. Baruch
Hashem we had a baby boy last week.
We really feel that your understanding
and sending us for tests helped us
not to worry and trust that everything
was healthy. This is only a small
gesture for tzedaka/ repayment. We
hope you continue to help couples
have simchas. We will support the
charity in our own small way as best
we can.
15
Every erev shabbos I placed some
money into my tzedaka box as a
segula for healthy pregnancy. I
have now Baruch Hashem given
birth to a beautiful baby girl and
I have much pleasure in donating
the enclosed money to your charity to enable others not as
fortunate as me.
Dear all staff at Chana
We would like to thank you for all the support and
advice that we have been given from Chana. I
always look forward to my weekly appointment
with ‘X’ as she helps me to look at the bigger
picture and be positive. We would also like to say a
huge thank you to everyone who made it possible
for Chana to give us the Duo Fertility monitor.
This machine combined with the counselling and
nutritionist appointments have given us hope,
when the NHS has taken our hope away. Thank you
for the continued care and support.
Love from
A & B
