JCS celebrates 165 years of caring for the community

Last Thursday Jewish Care Scotland celebrated their 165^th anniversary with an intimate gathering at the Walton Community Care Centre. Guests included members of the Board, Honorary Presidents and Vice-Presidents, and funders  who were invited to decades of service dedicated to the community while reflecting on 165 years

Guests were invited to   enjoy a premiere viewing of a short film summarising the services the charity offers in 2024 and the positive impact on  the community. Treated to popcorn and canapés, attendees enjoyed the short film before gathering in the day centre to look back through the years, tracing how far we’ve come.

Jewish Care Scotland’s Chief Executive Officer, Linda Kemp said of the milestone anniversary: “Jewish Care Scotland provide a great vehicle for people to connect and be part of their community. When we ask people what they want from JCS, they tell us it’s that opportunity to connect, meet new people and feel part of the community. That’s very important to them.”

Linda was joined by Board Chairman Dr Richard Groden, President of Glasgow Jewish Rep Council Timothy Lovat and the Provost of East Renfrewshire, Mary Montague to connect and mark the momentous occasion.
