AJEX Charitable Foundation
Harmony Way off Victoria Road, Hendon
London
NW4 2BZ
AJEX Charitable Foundation is the only organisation dedicated to supporting the welfare needs of former Jewish Servicemen and Women, their families, and Jewish personnel currently serving in the UK Armed Forces. Irrespective of any immediate circumstances we try to ensure that appropriate support is available wherever, and whenever, it is required. Our ultimate aim is to preserve the independence and dignity of those who seek our help, increasingly relevant when older veterans and surviving family members are faced with additional age-related issues.
Urgent grants are available to assist in emergency situations. Special payments can be made for personal needs, towards essential household repairs and adaptations, and for health and mobility aids. For some this might include a regular contribution to support care costs. Extra assistance is also provided for those facing extra expenses at Passover, New Year and Chanukah.
We also exist to ensure that the immense contribution of veterans from the Jewish Community who served in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces is never forgotten. The commitment from thousands of Servicemen and women highlights the important role our community has played, and continues to play, in the fabric of British life.
We would be delighted with donations for both our vital welfare work and also education and remembrance.

I.D.F. Widows & Orphans Organisation
Givat Shmuel
54052
IDF Widows & Orphans (IDFWO) is the sole organisation recognised by the State of Israel, representing the widows and orphans of Israel’s fallen soldiers (est. 1991). Working with over 8000 widows and orphans, we strive to be the backbone of support that a lost parent or spouse generally provides, offering emotional, social and financial aid, to bring them light and hope once again.
We show those that have made the ultimate sacrifice for Israel that they will never be alone. We provide them with representation to Israeli authorities and a variety of much-needed welfare programmes to support them throughout the calendar year and at every milestone in their lives.
