Established in 1979, qualified Jewish counsellors offer confidential counselling to anyone Jewish in London and surrounding area without regard to their affiliation. Initial consultations are offered to callers making contact through a 24-hour answerphone after which, where appropriate, they will be referred to counsellors for weekly sessions. Clients are expected to pay for sessions according to their means but nobody is turned away for financial reasons. All counsellors receive high quality supervision. Our Head of Clinical Services is supported by an experienced Intake Team and an Administrator. A small group – Friends - arranges fundraising functions. Donations and grants from individuals and trusts, as well as legacies, enable us to continue our vital and valuable service to the community.

The Fund, established in honour of the late Dr I Sidney Gold, first President of the Redbridge Jewish Youth & Community Centre, promotes the Doris and Sidney Gold/RAGS Scholarships. The driving concerns of his life were young people, Israel and Jewish community service and appropriately these scholarships combine all three elements. Selected Jewish students in the Essex area are assisted in funding a pre-university year on an approved study and training course in Israel with the understanding that they have a commitment to future communal involvement.

The scheme’s success over nearly two decades has been the number of the Scholars who have become deeply involved in a community leadership. Extra funds will enable more worthy young people to be assisted.

Stapely was founded 55 years ago to provide residential care for elderly Jewish people. Ten years later a hospital wing was built (now Stapely Nursing Home) offering full medical and minor surgical facilities. Stapely’s aim is to continue to provide its residents with the highest standards of care and accommodation in keeping with a true traditional Jewish way of life. It has its own synagogue and a strictly kosher cuisine. Recently both the Residential and Nursing Homes underwent major refurbishment and now provide the residents with the highest possible standard of accommodation and care.

In order to meet its annual running costs, Stapely relies heavily on donations, bequests and endowments from within the Jewish community. Only with your help can we maintain our commitment to the care and comfort of our elderly.
