Jewish Women’s Week

In 1947, Erna Patak, a refugee from Czechoslovakia, had a vision for women to create a better future with a door to door fundraising campaign.  Together with Rebecca Sieff they hoped it would last 10 years but now, over 75 years later, Jewish Women’s Week women are still leading the way.

Jewish Women’s Week has become an established UK wide annual house to house collection, authorised by The Home Office. Over the years it has adapted to meet the demands and changes of modern life but we are still very grateful to all our volunteers who knock on the doors of our generous donors.

If you would like to volunteer to be a Jewish Women’s Week collector, please contact: central@wizouk.org, or call 020 7319 9169

Over the last 75 years, the Jewish Women’s Week campaign has raised over £11,000,000, helping to create a better future for those less fortunate than us.
