CAMP SIMCHA SUPPORTING FAMILIES ACROSS THE COMMUNITY
Camp Simcha is a lifeline for Jewish families devastated by serious childhood illness, providing practical, emotional and therapeutic support, while bringing hope and joy at the darkest of times.
In this past year, they have provided bespoke support to over 1,500 family members throughout the UK, coping with over 50 childhood medical conditions, including, but not limited to: genetic illnesses, heart conditions, cancer, serious muscular conditions, premature babies, serious mental health conditions and Type 1 Diabetes.
Camp Simcha’s vision is that no UK Jewish family with a seriously ill child should have to suffer without their support.
This past year has affected us all, especially the women we serve. Jewish women who once relied on mainstream domestic abuse agencies are now turning to Jewish Women’s Aid, urgently needing our culturally sensitive services. Some are even choosing to stay in potentially dangerous relationships, fearing increased antisemitism if relocated outside their community.
We’ve seen a 17% rise in new domestic abuse cases and a 21% increase in women seeking support after experiencing sexual violence this past year. Our professional team provides tailored emotional and practical support, including safety advice, financial assistance, legal guidance, and a range of counselling and therapeutic services to over 700 women in our community.
This Rosh Hashanah, your crucial support will enable us to continue empowering Jewish women and girls affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence ensuring no Jewish woman experiences abuse alone.
