Our families, our communities need YOU.

The Jewish Family Centre empowers families by offering culturally sensitive, accredited support services that can be accessed in a dignified, confidential and safe manner.

Over the last 3 years, our Family Support Service has grown exponentially. As other charities have narrowed their criteria or closed their doors altogether, more and more families have found that we are the only Family Support service for Jewish families. Our Team consists of Social Workers, Adult and Child Therapists, Legal Advocates, Family Support Workers and we have just taken on the services of a Family and Couples Therapist.

Our main focus is now on Family Support. At the moment we are supporting over 250 families - some are complex cases involving Social Workers , Schools and the Police. Some of our cases are 'light touch', but they all are equally important and need care love and empathy. As these families represent the most vulnerable families in the community, they can't afford to pay for the services they receive.

We are proud to say that we have Enhanced Accreditation with the National Association of Child Contact Centres as the only Jewish Contact Centre in the UK. Non-resident parents travel from throughout the country to see their children; as we endeavour to make a difference in these children’s lives.

Every single person that accesses our services is treated with confidentiality, care and respect and no-one will ever know whether you are walking through our doors as mum looking for a play day activity for her toddler, or as someone coming for lifesaving therapy. That’s the beauty of the Jewish Family Centre.

The money raised from this Charity Extra Fundraising Campaign will go towards the Family Services, supporting the most vulnerable families in the community. Most of whom cannot afford to pay for the services they receive.

These words are written over 200 days after October 7th. I hope and pray that by the time you read them, the hostages will have been returned to their loved ones and Israel’s border will be peaceful. There is no doubt that Israel, now more than ever, needs our support – but charities at home (especially smaller charities) need support too. Please continue helping Israel… but don’t forget the home front.

For the sake of the families who are relying on us, it’s critical that we reach our fundraising goal of £360,000, so that we can continue our vital work in the community.

Please help us secure essential resources for those in need.

We need to ensure that no family is turned away.
