Jami, the mental health service for the Jewish community and part of Jewish Care, provides vital services for young people from 11 years old through to those in later life, whose mental illness and distress makes everyday life a struggle. Jami’s lifesaving services give people hope and support their recovery.
These services include one-to-one adult support, talking therapies, support for children and young people, advice and advocacy, support groups for families and carers, volunteer befriending and vocational support, all of which are lifelines for people living with mental illness and distress. The same is true of Jami’s community hubs and social enterprise café, Head Room in Golders Green, which provide vital social connection for people who may have become isolated because of their mental health.
To increase people’s understanding around mental health including how to prevent suicide, we also provide specialist courses to community leaders, including bespoke courses designed to speak to the Jewish community and Mental Health First Aid training.
Our community has come a long way in understanding and supporting people with mental illness, but there is still lots more to do.

Jewish Children’s Holidays Fund
Enfield
EN1 9SH
For over 125 years we have worked closely with other Jewish organisations to provide summer holidays for needy and underprivileged Jewish children who would otherwise go without.
During two weeks full of fun and friendship at a residential or local holiday camp they can take part in activities that include outings, quizzes, sports and swimming, whilst they socialise with other children and possibly gain respite from difficult family or personal circumstances.
The camps are strictly Kosher and Shabbat observant. We include camps with children who have disabilities. Subsidies are available and no child is turned away for financial reasons.
Please help us to support the many Jewish children who desperately need and deserve a holiday that many of us take for granted.

We continuously encourage volunteers to engage with cross-communal opportunities, finding common ground through meaningful causes.
JVN helps Jewish people connect with opportunities where they feel most comfortable and familiar. Our volunteers frequently tell us how they have been “renewed” emotionally and physically by their roles. We believe the benefits of volunteering should be accessible and meaningful for all, and our dedicated volunteer broker is available to assist those with additional needs in finding their perfect voluntary role.
We support 46 partner charities through training, brokerage, and strategic partnerships. Our stewardship strengthens the voluntary sector, building a more resilient community in the face of economic and social challenges.
