Organisation description: The Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester & Region was formally established in 1919. For more than 100 years, the Council has been responsible for representing, protecting, uniting, defending and serving the Jewish community of Greater Manchester and region.
As a representative body, we are the first point of contact for elected representatives on issues that affect our community. We proactively engage politicians at the highest levels of local and national government to ensure they are aware of the community’s agenda.
Internally, we work across our whole community to ensure concerns are recognised and acted upon. We co-ordinate the Greater Manchester Jewish Strategic Group whose membership is derived from a diverse cross section of the whole community, alongside key stakeholders from wider society. The group meets regularly to assist communal organisations to collaborate and coordinate whilst amplifying our collective voice to government.
We recognise that the success of our community is closely tied to that of our neighbours so we continue to take an active part in interfaith networks. This ensures the general population is aware of issues affecting Jewish people across the region whilst simultaneously working towards a more cohesive society.
