Objectives

Jewish Care is committed to ensuring that members of the Jewish community are able to support and care for one another.

Our vision

Jewish Care’s vision is of a society where people support and care about one another and are able to participate fully in their community.

Our purpose

We want to make a positive impact on the lives of Jewish people by creating and providing excellent social care that enhances wellbeing and inspires them to stay connected to their community.

We are a leading communal organisation with a charitable purpose working in London and South East England, with an ambition to work collaboratively, initiate debate, be a catalyst for change, a channel for advancement and a voice across the sector.
