Clapton Support and Advice

Clapton Support and Advice is a charitable incorporated organisation established in April 2017 (charity number 1172663), rooted in Hackney and Haringey, with a mission to advance the Orthodox Jewish religion, support faith-based education, and relieve poverty, sickness, and infirmity among vulnerable individuals. Guided by Orthodox Jewish values of generosity, communal support, and public benefit, it operates as a grassroots funder, channeling community donations and legacies into holistic wellbeing initiatives that blend religious education, welfare aid, and immediate hardship relief, primarily within local Orthodox Jewish populations across England but focused on these boroughs.

It funds project-based support, emergency relief, and direct aid for families and individuals facing economic hardship, health crises, or educational disadvantage, targeting children, adults, and students in Orthodox Jewish communities. Grantees include small local institutions, schools, and welfare projects emphasizing faith-rooted education and material assistance, with a responsive, need-led approach prioritizing measurable impact on destitution and frailty.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups—preferably small, grassroots organisations with limited income—serving Orthodox Jewish communities strictly in Hackney and Haringey. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; funding occurs via trustee decisions on a rolling basis through networks and referrals, with no deadlines or public forms. Typical grants range from £3,000 to £7,000. Distinctively, its jewish_only religious restriction and network-driven model exclude secular or non-local causes, differentiating it as a niche, faith-anchored welfare and education supporter amid broader charitable landscapes.
