Glasgow Jewish Representative Council Charitable Education & Welfare Association is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) with charity number SC044570 that supports the religious, educational and welfare needs of the Jewish community in Glasgow and the West of Scotland.[1] Operating as the charitable arm of the Glasgow Jewish Representative Council, it advances Orthodox Jewish religious practice, provides educational programmes, relieves poverty and distress among Jewish residents, and promotes religious harmony and interfaith understanding.[1] The charity maintains a correspondence address at 222 Fenwick Road, Giffnock, Glasgow, and works independently of direct Zionist regime or settler colony affiliations.[1]
The organisation traces its roots to mid-20th-century communal welfare efforts in Glasgow's Jewish community, formalising as a registered charity in its current structure on 14 March 2014.[1] It supports synagogue life, Jewish education (including cheder and adult classes), youth activities, pastoral care, and financial assistance to individuals and families facing hardship.[1] Funds are used for grants to other Jewish organisations, direct welfare payments, educational materials, and communal events, with particular emphasis on supporting vulnerable members including the elderly, ill, and those experiencing isolation or financial difficulty.[1]
The charity benefits the Jewish population across Greater Glasgow, with activities carried out by trustees and volunteers.[1] It collaborates with the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities and other local bodies to coordinate welfare and educational provision.[2]
Finances
For the year ending 31 December 2024, the charity reported income of £48,720 (primarily donations and legacies) and expenditure of £45,890, focused on charitable activities.[1] Previous years showed modest but consistent operation, with income fluctuating between £40,000–£60,000 annually depending on specific appeals and bequests.[1]
Trustees
Trustee details are published on the OSCR register but not listed in public summaries as of February 2026; governance is overseen by elected representatives of the Glasgow Jewish Representative Council.[1]
