Antisemitism is an enduring disease that has persisted through the centuries via numerous mutations and social aberrations; it can take on many shapes and forms. It is both overt and covert Racism, literal and implied. It can even lay dormant for an entire generation before reappearing suddenly and unexpectedly. We all simply want to function in a society without fear, prejudice or hindrance.
The JC Foundation Trust make sure there are no obstacles for you regarding legal, social or educational. We work in conjunction with the relevant stakeholders in our community and beyond to ensure fair and equal access to all opportunities.

Crafting a space where the heart of community pulses vibrantly, our Community Welfare service is more than just an initiative—it's a beacon of hope and connection. Through our dedicated hubs, we weave the fabric of togetherness, providing not just sustenance for the body but also nourishment for the soul. By distributing food to those in need, we tackle hunger head-on, ensuring no one is left behind. But our mission goes beyond addressing physical needs; it's about breaking the chains of social isolation. These hubs serve as vibrant gatherings, where every individual is recognized, valued, and supported. Join us in this meaningful journey as we cultivate a stronger, more connected community, where everyone finds a place to belong and thrive.
