Jewish Child’s Day Fund

UJIA is now hosting the JCD Fund.

Since the very first Jewish Child’s Day appeal in 1947, Jewish Child’s Day has existed with one clear purpose: to transform the lives of Jewish children in need, wherever they are.

Jewish Child’s Day (JCD) is entering a new chapter. To continue supporting the most vulnerable Jewish children long into the future – efficiently, responsibly, and sustainably – JCD has moved from an active, staffed charity to a dedicated Fund within UJIA.

This important change will maximise the impact of donations in the future to ensure they are allocated to children and projects that need it most – and deserve it most.

To administer these grants efficiently and professionally, JCD will work with UJIA, which will manage the process under the guidance of a dedicated Jewish Child’s Day Grant Committee. The JCD Grant committee will be established under the management of UJIA, and will contain both UJIA and JCD representatives.

Operating within UJIA, the JCD mission and values remain unchanged, and grants will continue to reach those who need them most.

Thank you for continuing to be a part of the JCD journey — and for helping ensure JCD’s impact continues long into the future.

Gift Aid (optional)

If you are a UK taxpayer and would like your donations to continue to be treated as Gift Aid-eligible under UJIA’s administration, you will have the opportunity to update your Gift Aid declaration on UJIA’s donate page, where you can specify that you are donating to the JCD Fund. 

As part of this change, JCD’s supporter database will be transferred to UJIA, who will become the new data controller. Only information from the past six years will be transferred; all older records will be securely deleted.

UJIA will hold your details securely and will only use them for administrative and service purposes, such as managing records and providing important updates on the JCD Fund. They will not send you marketing communications unless you ask them to.

JCD has updated its privacy policy to reflect this change.

If you need to contact UJIA about your data or this transition:

Email: info@ujia.org
Tel: 020 7424 6400
Address: 4th Floor, Amelie House, 221 Golders Green Road, London, NW11 9DQ
