Welcome to the Jewish Charity Guide

The Guide was created over thirty years ago to fill the need for a guide specifically featuring UK registered Jewish charities. These organisations raise funds for a wide range of voluntary organisations serving Jewish communities in the UK, Israel and Europe and cover every aspect of Jewish life, from the arts, culture, sports and education, to health and welfare, disability, human rights, mental health, religion and much more. Some also support wider communities in need, especially at times of natural or war-related crises.

The pressures faced by voluntary organisations are ever-present and predominantly include a need for more funding to enable them to maintain or increase their premises and activities in line with the demands of an ageing population as well as the effects of war and antisemitism, and the need to bring together, educate and support people of Jewish heritage.

You can donate direct today by contacting any of the charities listed here but we urge you to also consider leaving a bequest to one or more of them in your Will. By doing so, you will not only be making your wishes known to your executors but will also be helping to ensure the future of our vibrant and highly effective Jewish voluntary organisations for many years to come.

So even when your footsteps leave this earth, your footprints will remain!
