JW3 is the first and only Jewish Community Centre and arts venue of its kind to exist in UK. The brainchild of Dame Vivien Duffield DBE and created by a core capital grant from the Clore Duffield Foundation, the centre opened on the Finchley Road, NW3 in October 2013.

Our Vision

A vibrant, diverse, unified Jewish community, engaged with Jewish life and actively contributing to wider society.

Our Mission

To create open and welcoming Jewish spaces that bring different people together, strengthen identities, and build community through arts, culture, education, and social action.

Our Core Values

These six values shape our culture, guide how we behave and inform our decision-making. They are at the heart of the way we work, driving how we act as individuals and as an organisation:

  • Community – קהילה
  • Inclusivity – הכללה
  • Creativity – יצירתיות
  • Lovingkindness – חסד
  • Collaboration - שיתוף פעולה
  • Leading by Example – דוגמא אישית
