Jewish Care Scotland

Jewish Care Scotland Scotland’s leading Jewish welfare charity since 1858. We have a small team of dedicated and hardworking staff, as well over 80 caring and committed volunteers.

Jewish Care Scotland is the only charity dedicated to meeting the welfare needs of Scotland’s Jewish community. We offer a wide range of professional social work and social care services and work together with the charity’s volunteers, dedicated to tailoring our services to the needs of each individual. We are a non-profit organisation and rely on the generosity of individual donors to make up the shortfall in our funding. Every penny donated is appreciated. We operate out of the the Walton Community Care Centre which was custom built and opened in 1999. It is the focal point for the delivery of all our services. The Centre is located in the heart of Jewish community and allows us to offer social work support, run a day centre and a number of special clubs where people can gather socially, participate in therapeutic programmes, eat a meal together, be entertained and take part in a whole range of activities including keep fit, bridge, artwork, discussions and music appreciation.

On World Mental Health Day, we want to remind everyone in our Community that you do not have to carry things alone.
Life brings changes that can feel heavy, whether that is grieving a loss, managing caring responsibilities, dealing with health challenges, or simply feeling isolated. It is completely natural to have periods where everyday life feels overwhelming.
Supporting our mental wellbeing starts with staying connected. A quick phone call, a shared cup of tea, or checking in on someone to ask how they are really doing can be a lifeline.
At Jewish Care Scotland, keeping people connected and supported is at the core of what we do. Our team, groups, and activities are always here if you need company, advice, or just a friendly face.

Today, we pause in remembrance of those we have lost, and the families whose worlds changed forever.
We hold in our thoughts everyone who is grieving, those still living with deep heartbreak, and all across our Community carrying the emotional weight of this day.

In times of remembrance and sorrow, our strength comes from staying together. We remain here for our Community, offering care, support, and connection whenever it is needed.

Lennie’s Discussion Panel is back: Will this year be any different?

We all fall into familiar routines, yet local life keeps bringing fresh surprises, new priorities, and unexpected challenges.

Join Lennie and a lineup of guest speakers for an honest, straight-talking conversation about where things actually stand in our community.

A few questions on the table:

Are we genuinely solving local issues, or simply having the same old debates in a new coat of paint?

How do we turn good intentions into practical support people can truly feel?

What real changes do we actually want to see before the year wraps up?

This is never a one-way lecture; it is an open exchange. Lennie and the panel will get the ball rolling, but the floor belongs to the room. Whether you want to speak up or simply sit in and listen, everyone is welcome.

September has flown by, but we could not let the month pass without sharing this video from Rita’s 100th birthday!

At the party we had laughs, great music, and great food. Rabbi Rubin gave a speech about the New Year, and Robyn spoke about how Rita is the sweetest and easily one of the funniest people to be around. Rita had plenty of her own stories to tell as well, including how she still outsmarts everyone at Scrabble!

Rita is very special to us and we love her so much.
