Jewish Care is a charity that operates over 70 centers in London and South East England . She supports social welfare organizations for vulnerable members of the Jewish community . This includes nursing homes, meeting places and services such as self-help groups, family carers and telephone information centers.

The organization serves over 10,000 people a week who believe that Jews should have access to professional services that meet their needs. This is reflected in the care in terms of tradition, belief and culture. Jewish festivals, such as the Sabbath, are celebrated in Jewish Care homes and in meeting places. Care is offered for everyone, regardless of how much they practice their faith.

The charity employs 1,400 people and 3,000 volunteers.
