It’s a great way to meet and network with others, make new friends, and gain new experiences, at the same time as supporting those members of our community who need us most.
Each week, Jewish Care touches the lives of 12,000 people from age 11 to 111. Following the integration of mental health charity Jami into Jewish Care, we now offer a wide range of lifesaving mental health support for secondary-school-age children through to those in later life, whose mental illness and distress make everyday life a challenge. This year alone, Jami has helped to support over 1,600 young people and adults. All funds raised by YJJC will be supporting Jami’s vital work.

Learn about Jami
Jami
Over the years, we have found Jewish Care causes that we think will resonate with our Young Patrons because we want to ensure that your donations make an impact on the services that matter most to you. This year, your funds will go to Jami’s vital services, supporting young people and adults in the community whose mental illness and distress make everyday life a struggle, together with their families. Since one in four people in the Jewish community is living with mental illness or distress, and these difficulties are affecting over 55% of under 25s*, Jami’s services are more important now than ever before. Jami provides tailored support, a safe space to talk, social connection, and access to work and volunteering opportunities, for individuals struggling with their mental health. We also offer emotional and practical support to those caring for someone with mental illness and provide education and training to community leaders. Our services include The Dangoor Children and Young Person’s Service, Jami’s community hubs, and our career and family support services, as well as the community groups at Head Room, Jami’s social enterprise café, supported by the Maurice Wohl Foundation.

Why do YJJC Supporters love being involved?
“Being part of a Young Jami Jewish Care Committee means so much to me – I love being involved in our community and knowing that the work we’re doing is genuinely making a difference. It’s a meaningful, rewarding, and fun experience. I especially enjoyed seeing the Young Professionals dinner come together so well, knowing how hard we worked to create something tangible to directly support such an important cause/young people’s mental health.” – Emilia Isaacs, Young Professional Dinner Committee Member
“Young Jami Jewish Care is where the next generation of leaders, volunteers, and donors come together. Just as our parents served their communities before us, we too must step up. This is paramount in today’s world, where mutual support is more important than ever. Everyone needs to play their part, and YJJC helps us do exactly that” – YJJC Supporter
