Social Services

The AJR’s team of dedicated social care workers attend to the day-to-day needs of those of our members requiring support, guidance and clarification on a wide range of social, welfare and care needs.

As part of their nationwide programme of home visits, social care workers assess members’ needs and, where appropriate, eligibility for a number of financial support schemes, designed to enable members to continue to live with dignity in their own homes for as long as possible.

On behalf of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, the AJR administers emergency social, welfare and care funds, which can be used to pay for a number of services and essential items including dental treatment and specialist clothing as well as urgent house repairs, recuperative convalescence and respite breaks and homecare packages.

The AJR also provides help with enquiries on entitlement to welfare benefits and guidance with applications for social security and pensions.
