UK Jewish Charity List

Maccabi GB is Britain’s leading Anglo-Jewish sports, health and wellbeing charity and has flourished for over 80 years. Maccabi GB delivers over 250 projects, programmes and events for the community each year, ensuring these cater for all sections of the Community and that everyone has the opportunity to participate in sport, health and wellbeing activities along with informal education on Jewish identity, history and culture.

In this increasingly fragmented society, it is more important than ever that the Jewish Community can come together to express their Jewish identity without fear of judgement, make friends, learn valuable life skills, and feel a sense of belonging. Maccabi GB enables the Community to do all of those things and so much more.

Maccabi GB continues to deliver a range of international sporting events. We send a team annually to the JCC Maccabi Games in America and also larger delegations to the European Maccabi Games and the Pan-American Maccabi Games every four years. In between, and also every four years, we send over 450 athletes to Israel for the Maccabiah Games. The Jewish Olympics now plays host to over 10,000 Jewish athletes from 80 countries. We work with our affiliated clubs, sports leagues and the community by providing quality youth projects such as the Streetwise Leadership Programme and Stand Up! Education Against Discrimination.
