'CREATE' is our 4 year initiative, under which we are delivering the majority of JSCN's services to the community.

How people say it helped
From the CREATE evaluation. One thing to note is that Wellbeing is down significantly on last year. The report links this to rising anti-Jewish hatred and the effect on people's sense of safety.
