Jewish Care Scotland supports around 500 families and individuals every year - that's approximately one in five Jewish families in Scotland, most of whom live in the greater Glasgow area.
Welcome to the Jewish Care Scotland website.
Jewish Care Scotland is a modern registered Scottish charity that continues to build on the long tradition of dedicated caring for Scotland’s Jewish community - just like a big extended family.
We have the skills of a professional social work team and work hand in hand with over 120 volunteers who support us in every area of practice. We have a unique partnership with East Renfrewshire Council and liaise with colleagues in Glasgow City Council and other local and national organisations to ensure the very best support for each person. With the ongoing support of the wider community we will continue to change and develop our services to meet the changing needs of our people and to make our contribution to the well being of the Scottish community as a whole.
Please explore our website further to find out more about us, our wide range of caring services and view our day to day work on our new DVD.
Our website also invites you to support our work and how you can get involved.
We are always pleased to hear from you too, so please do not hesitate to contact us.
