Jami
Gould Way, Deansbrook Road

Jami is here for when mental illness and distress make everyday life a struggle. In April 2024, Jami integrated with Jewish Care to tackle the community’s unprecedented mental health challenge. Together we are better equipped to respond to the mental health needs of people in secondary school through to people in later life.
Through expert support, provided by people with lived experience of mental health difficulties, Jami guides people through their mental health recovery, supports families and carers, and educates community leaders.
Our life-changing services, offered by qualified social workers, counsellors, occupational therapists, mental health practitioners, peer support workers and volunteers, provide a safe space to talk, social connection, access to work and volunteering opportunities, advice and advocacy, and much more.

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.
