Not Only for Ourselves: The Past, Present and Future of JCORE

Now run as HIAS+JCORE – a partnership with the international refugee protection agency HIAS – the charity’s work challenging hate and welcoming refugees in the UK is more important than ever.

We are excited to be joined by an esteemed panel of guests for this event. You will hear from JCORE’s founder, Dr Edie Friedman, who ran the organisation for 46 years; Rabbi David Mason, who became HIAS+JCORE’s first Executive Director in 2023; the book’s author, Joseph Finlay; Lord Simon Woolley; and Dawn Butler MP. Together they will discuss the organisation’s proud 50-year history, and the future of its work amidst the global context of a rising far-right and hostility to refugees.

‘Not Only for Ourselves’ is published in conjunction with the Parkes Institute at the University of Southampton which houses the JCORE archive.

This event is delivered in collaboration with JCORE. Your name and email address will be shared with JCORE for the purposes of administering this event and receiving your feedback.
