The Glasgow group is associated with a charity [[Bnei Akiva Parents Association (Glasgow Branch)]].

:The sense that there is a dwindling of Jewish life in Britain is acute, especially among those emigrating from communities far away from London. Dr [[Kenneth Collins|Kenneth]] and [[Irene Collins]] from Glasgow finally made the decision to move after Kenneth retired from the NhS after over three decades as a GP. “We were always Zionist inclined and all our four children went to [[Bnei Akiva]],” he says. Now two of those children live in London and the other two have already made aliyah. “We still feel that our Scottish and Jewish identities go together,” says the former president of the community’s representative council, “but most of the people our age have no more children living in Glasgow. We just want to spend more time with our children and grandchildren.”<ref>'This year in Jerusalem', Jewish Chronicle, 17 July 2009.</ref>
