Community Organisations

KeshetUK works with community organisations to become more inclusive of the LGBT+ Jewish people,
​so that services and spaces meet the needs of LGBT+ people and their families.
Contact us
In the UK, Jewish communities provide a wide range of services, support and facilities. Rather than see these duplicated for Jewish LGBT+ people, Jewish communities should ensure that their provision is inclusive of LGBT+ people and their families, and meets their needs.

Jewish communities are diverse and there is no single approach that will work for everyone. KeshetUK works in partnership with communities to identify their goals, then we tailor our support so they can achieve them. 

KeshetUK workshops use a mixture methods to understand how LGBT+ inclusion can work in Jewish communities. They are interactive and create a space where any question can be asked.

Currently, our basic training allows participants to review the use of language, consider the perceived access points or barriers to participation of Jewish LGBT+ people in Jewish life, and have practical conversations about scenarios that are relevant to your organisation.

As part of our Community Life Programme, we are in the process ​of creating a training menu - which will offer a variety of one hour sessions on different themes that we have been requested by the community for. Topics such as language, trans inclusion, allyship and how to help when you witness something and you're not sure what to do. If you're interested in being involved in the piloting of these modules. Please also get in touch for more information. 

What we offer community organisations

Testimonies

JLC  - Jewish Leadership Council
"KeshetUK works in a sensitive and understanding way to make sure that no member of our community ever feels excluded or as if they can’t be who they are. We are indebted to KeshetUK for its services”

"An extremely knowledgeable and highly experienced facilitator, took pains to make us feel comfortable with a topic that was sensitive and in some cases unfamiliar.  Our colleagues found the session enlightening, and they were pleased to gain a greater understanding of the difficulties that have to be overcome both personally and in the workplace.   Given the wide range of people who come to Resource for support with their job search, it is vital that all of our team feel educated and comfortable discussing issues relating to LGBT+, and I feel that the training from KeshetUK, together with their offer of ongoing support, has definitely put us on the right track."​

"Over the last year we have consulted with KeshetUK’s leadership on a number of issues, and brought in their skilled educators to work with our team, including our Senior Leadership Team, in order to train and develop JW3 staff. Their non-judgemental approach and commitment both to best practice and to Jewish values and community has helped ensure JW3 can best serve the needs of the wider Jewish community in a more inclusive way." 

Raymond Simonson, CEO, JW3 (2021) 

The Zone - Leeds
“KeshetUK’s training ensured that all our leaders are fully aware, not only of the most current phrases, terminologies and language around the LGBT+ community, but also the sensitivities and therefore the considerations that should always be taken into account when planning for and dealing with young people. The trainers were incredibly honest and very clear about the topic, which left us in not doubt we were better equipped after the training than before it."
