Jewish Care Scotland and Scottish Jewish Youth Alliance team up to support Maccabi’s Summer Scheme 25

31 March 2025

JCS have launched a special one-off grant to support low-income families hoping to send their child to this year’s Maccabi Summer Scheme.   The summer scheme will take place between Monday 7 and Friday 11 July, at a total cost of £175 with a 10% discount for a second child.  Jewish Care Scotland is offering a limited number of one-off grants of £175 to eligible applicants. 

Robyn Friel, JCS Deputy Chief Executive said: “We are delighted to be able to offer this grant to ensure that cost isn’t a barrier to anyone taking part in this year’s Summer Scheme at Maccabi Glasgow.  The cost-of-living crisis continues to impact families and with the summer holidays approaching we want to make sure that no child misses out on the chance to attend the Summer Scheme and make some great memories.” 

The one-off grant is now open to applications.  Please contact the team at Jewish Care Scotland for more information by emailing Nicole at hello@jcarescot.org.uk or calling 0141 620 1800.  Applicants will be asked to evidence their disposable income to determine eligibility and further support may be available to those who would benefit.  All applications and enquiries are treated in the strictest confidence and payment will be made directly to Maccabi for successful applicants.
