We're delighted to announce the award of a grant of £21,720 by the Scottish Government for SCoJeC's new project "Being Jewish in Scotland", a short study of the varied experiences of Jewish people throughout Scotland. The “Being Jewish in Scotland” project will enable SCoJeC to identify the concerns of the community and so represent and provide more effective support for the community. It will strengthen networks and social capital in the Jewish community; provide support to Jewish people in Scotland; assist statutory and voluntary organisations and agencies including the Scottish Government, Local Councils, the police, NHS, and others to support and respond more effectively to the needs and concerns of the Jewish community. http://www.scojec.org/news/2011/bjis/11ix01_pr.html
