How we can help

Mavar offers a safe space for Charedi or former Charedi Jews to turn to, for information, guidance, referrals and resources. Our personal mentors are caring individuals who will get to know you, listen to your questions and help you think through your options – they understand the Charedi community.

Mavar can support men and women into education, employment and housing. We can help you improve your English. We have education bursaries to ensure you can study whatever you want. We offer hospitality, workshops and opportunities to meet other young people and families. We have a social co-ordinator who will help to integrate you socially into the non-Charedi world. We have a team of counsellors and therapists for those who need emotional support. We have family and immigration lawyers who can provide legal advice. We have a wide network of professionals in every field to help you on your journey. No matter where you live in the UK, we can help.
