League of Jewish Women

League of Jewish Women

The League of Jewish Women is one of the leading voluntary Jewish women's service organisations in the United Kingdom. Affiliated to more than 30 other national and international organisations, membership is open to all Jewish women.

The voluntary work of the League ranges from hospital and home visiting to working in prisons or running day centres for older people. Many members also work in schools, baby clinics and contact centres. The type of work members do is as varied as the members themselves and much of it is organised locally.

The League is the UK affiliate of the International Council of Jewish Women.

The current President of the League of Jewish Women is Penelope Conway.
