Jewish Care’s work would simply not be possible without the support of our many dedicated volunteers.
We’re always looking for more amazing people to join us. A couple of hours of your time could make a huge difference to someone’s life. So please have a look round and see if there’s anything you can do to help.

Jewish Care are always in need of drivers. Whether that be for Meals on Wheels, taking people to day centres, or helping people get to where they need to be. Our driver volunteers are key to the support we offer our members and the wider community and are so incredibly vital to our work and client services. A small journey for you can make an enormous difference to others.
