When FJRO was created in1919 its remit was to ‘relieve Jewish victims of war and persecution and to relieve poverty and sickness among, and to advance the education of, Jewish people.

Over a hundred years later, the needs of Jewish communities in Israel and the UK are still at the forefront of our work and in the last ten years we have, for instance, developed numerous projects in Israel in cooperation with The Jaffa Institute, including education for children from problematic backgrounds and providing food and clothing for deprived families.

We also make donations to the Forgotten People Fund, which supports the Ethiopian community in Israel with education and equipment, and to Karmey Chesed, which supports families in poverty as well as distributing food parcels to support those who cannot afford life’s most vital essentials.

We make a number of other donations to charities in Israel and England, particularly to Norwood Ravenswood, CST , Chai Cancer Care , Brondesbury Synagogue, and the Jewish Community Secondary School (JCOSS).

FJRO is supported by the Christadelphian Community for the benefit of ‘The Children of Israel’.
Please consider us when making a donation or writing your Will, so that we can continue to offer these essential services to Jewish families in the UK and Israel.

The Foundation for Jewish Heritage was established to work in the UK and internationally on preserving Jewish built heritage; a heritage that faces profound challenges as a result of the great upheavals faced by the Jewish people in the 20th century which meant many centuries-old historic sites became orphaned and, without a community of users, remain to this day in danger in many parts of the world.

We prioritise preserving important historic synagogues at risk being the most iconic buildings of the Jewish community, and focus on Europe where most historic synagogues are located.
The Foundation views its role as essentially educational – using these remarkable buildings to inform about the life and contribution of the Jewish community, building awareness, understanding and empathy, combating ignorance, prejudice and antisemitism.

Our mantra is ‘preserving the past, shaping the future’. We want to impact society today and tomorrow.

When you donate to the Freddie Krivine Initiative or include us in your Will, you help to sustain vital programmes that bring Jewish and Arab children together through tennis, friendship, and mutual respect—programmes that nurture understanding and peace, one game at a time. Your gift helps this vital work endure.

Our activities include after school tennis and homework clubs, with Arab and Jewish coaches, attended by over 150 children. The programme builds confidence, language skills, and opens paths to higher education.  We hold joyous joint celebrations of Arab and Israeli festivals, and run Jewish-Arab summer camps bringing youth together to build friendship, empathy, and understanding through shared activities in a safe and welcoming space.

Founded in 2000 by the late Freddie Krivine, a British-born Zionist, visionary, and then President of the Israel Tennis Association. Known as “Mr. Tennis” in Israel, Freddie believed passionately that sport could unite communities — especially in the toughest times. During the Second Intifada, when many believed coexistence was impossible, he launched the programme that became the Freddie Krivine Initiative. He insisted: ‘This is exactly the time to bring people together.’

Our mission is to enhance and strengthen the value of education, equality and social inclusion for Arab youth in Israel, through the sport of tennis and shared society activities between Jewish and Arab communities.

Since 2000 we have reached over 10,000 children and now welcome over 350 children and more than 1,000 family and community members every year.

Working across the UK, the Holocaust Educational Trust aims to educate people from all backgrounds about the Holocaust, the history of antisemitism and how antisemitism manifests today.

We partner with schools, universities, local authorities and workplaces to provide internationally recognised teacher training and high-quality classroom resources. Through our Lessons from Auschwitz Project, tens of thousands of students and teachers have had the opportunity to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, the most notorious site of the Holocaust, for themselves. In addition, our Outreach programme enables Holocaust survivors and their descendants to travel across the country, delivering powerful testimony.

Our new Testimony 360: People and Places of the Holocaust programme combines digital eyewitness testimony with virtual reality, revolutionising access to survivor accounts and providing an invaluable opportunity for students learning about the Holocaust.

Together, we will ensure that the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust are remembered, and that the lessons of the Holocaust are never forgotten.

Jewish Blind & Disabled (JBD) transforms the lives of Jewish adults aged 18 and over who have physical disabilities or vision impairments, enabling them to live independently with dignity and choice. Established over 50 years ago, JBD provides specially adapted mobility apartments across seven developments in North and North East London and Hertfordshire, with an eighth opening in early 2026.

With only 7% of England’s housing offering basic accessibility, many people with disabilities live in unsuitable homes. Unsurprisingly, 38% of those with long-term physical conditions also face severe mental health challenges. JBD offers safe, accessible homes with modern kitchens, walk-in shower rooms, and 24/7 onsite support from House Managers.

Most tenants were not born with a disability but face life-changing diagnoses later in life. JBD helps restore independence and self-worth through practical support and a warm, inclusive Jewish community.

Beyond our developments, the Independent Living Advisory Service supports people living in their own homes. Led by Occupational Therapists, it offers free assessments and guidance on aids and adaptations. We also run monthly sight loss support groups and partner with Jewish Care to support those affected by Multiple Sclerosis.

Demand for our unique housing and support has grown significantly since Covid. As an independent charity without government funding, we rely on legacies and donations to continue our vital work.

For over 125 years we have worked closely with other Jewish organisations to provide summer holidays for needy and underprivileged Jewish children who would otherwise go without.

During two weeks full of fun and friendship at a residential or local holiday camp they can take part in activities that include outings, quizzes, sports and swimming, whilst they socialise with other children and possibly gain respite from difficult family or personal circumstances.

The camps are strictly Kosher and Shabbat observant. We include camps with children who have disabilities. Subsidies are available and no child is turned away for financial reasons.

Please help us to support the many Jewish children who desperately need and deserve a holiday that many of us take for granted.

The founder of the Laniado hospital in Netanya, was R’ Y Halberstam, the Klausenberger Rebbe Z’tl. Following his experiences in the holocaust he decided to build a hospital that works along the principles that kindness, hope, compassion and courage are common threads within humanity that we can use to bind us all.

The hospital treats 100,000 patients annually, irrespective of race or religion; we do not ask our patient’s background – rather how we can best help them.

Over 700 babies are born every month at Laniado’s newly refurbished maternity centre, one of the leading maternity centres in the country. It is difficult to think of a more fitting testament to the greatness of the Jewish people and Jewish survival than this.

In 2030, Magen David Adom will celebrate a centenary of lifesaving. One hundred years on the frontline of medical emergency response in Israel. Throughout its history, MDA has had one eye on the future. Not only being ready for today, but being prepared for tomorrow, too. This manifests across the organisation. In its commitment to volunteering, embracing diversity and being a global leader in the use of AI and technology, Magen David Adom does not stand still.

The devastating events of 7th October 2023 left a scar on the people of Israel and Jewish communities across the world. Now, as the shadow slowly lifts, Magen David Adom UK is looking to 2030 through the prism of ‘Macharatayim’ – the day after tomorrow. Central to this is the understanding that MDA is so much more than just an ambulance service. It is a living bridge between Israel and the world. The greatest example of what the connection between the people of Israel and the Jewish diaspora can achieve and a source of immense pride and hope in the way Israel is portrayed on the global stage.

But ‘Macharatayim’ is also an understanding that things will never be the same again. The impact on the past two years on the mental health of a nation cannot be underestimated. The trauma caused by what MDA paramedics witnessed and experienced will never disappear. The need to be prepared for a similar attack in the future cannot be overlooked.

The next five years provide an opportunity to ensure that Magen David Adom, Israel’s lifesavers, are ready for tomorrow, and the day after.

As the fastest-growing hospital in the region, it serves Jerusalem’s uniquely diverse population, Jews and Arabs, religious and secular, residents and tourists alike. All cared for with compassion and expertise.

Whether delivering more than 22,000 babies a year in one of Israel’s busiest maternity units, performing lifesaving emergency procedures, or developing groundbreaking medical research, Shaare Zedek’s mission remains constant: to provide the highest standard of care to every patient who walks through its doors.

Shaare Zedek’s impact reaches far beyond its hospital walls. Our teams are often among the first to respond to global disasters, bringing lifesaving expertise and compassionate care to communities in crisis. This commitment to “compassion without borders” is part of what makes the hospital so extraordinary.

Across Israel, WIZO runs safe day-care centres, shelters for women escaping violence, schools and youth villages for
at-risk teens, community centres, and therapeutic programmes that help families recover from trauma, including the lasting impact of 7 October.

As Israel rebuilds, WIZO is there offering stability, education, protection and hope.
