Jewish Care
Jewish Care is the largest health and social care charity for the Jewish communities in London and the South east, caring directly for nearly 7,000 people every week. It believes that Jewish people should have access to specialist services designed to meet their needs and consequently the care provided recog- nises traditions, beliefs and cultures frequently shared by Jewish people. Jewish Care works right across the community providing care regardless of the level or nature of an individual’s religious observance and as such recognises people’s differences as well as their similarities. 1,100 dedicated staff and 2,500 volunteers are involved in running over 70 centres and specialist services for
- People with mental health problems
- People with a physical or sensory disability, including those who are visually impaired
- People with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia
- Holocaust survivors and refugees
- People caring for others (Carers)
- Younger people
