South London Jewish Community Services

This Guide is intended to be a source of information on care and support services for Jewish people in South London.

People may require information to assist someone who may have support needs such as aging, physical or sensory disability, a degenerative illness, mental health problems, social isolation and loneliness, emotional upheaval, HIV or AIDS, risk of neglect or abuse, dementia, domestic violence or learning disabilities.

Information provided covers the following areas; residential, nursing and dementia care for older people, advice and councelling, emotional support, home care, advice concerning future accomodation needs, befriending and visiting, specialist transport, nursing care, rehabilitation, benefits and grants and protection from neglect or abuse. An individual may be dealing with more than one issue, and therefore may have a range of needs.

The South London Community Support Service is in regular contact with all the Synagogues and Jewish Community organisations in South London and provides information about communal activities and services.

If you have just moved in to the area and wish to know about local Jewish facilities, the availability of kosher food or if you now feel the need to know about availability of events, this service may well be of help to you.
