JEWISH BLIND AND DISABLED

Jewish Blind & Disabled is a completely independent charity that is dedicated to ensuring that neither physical disability nor impaired vision becomes a barrier to living an independent life. We alone in the Jewish community provide specially designed mobility apartments with 24/7 on site support for adults aged 18+. Our tenants range from their early 20’s, and encompass a wide spectrum of disabilities including multiple sclerosis, Huntingdon’s, cerebral palsy, rheumatoid arthritis and motor neurone disease amongst others.

Over 40 years experience means that every aspect of each of our buildings is planned with unparalleled attention to detail. This, combined with the security of house managers being on site 24 hours a day/seven days a week, means that tenants and their families can enjoy their independence safe in the knowledge that support is always on hand if required transforming

Having their own apartment means that our tenants can enjoy the best of both worlds- the privacy that this affords them whilst also benefiting from the wide range of activities and warm community atmosphere that prevails in the attractive communal lounges and beautiful, well-maintained gardens.

Thus a key to one of our apartments is literally the key to a new future for all concerned.

Our latest development in Bushey Heath, Herts. is due to open in 2012 providing an additional 41 state-of-the-art mobility apartments but unfortunately there will still be many on our waiting lists still hoping to receive their personal key to independence.

JCCV

THE JCC FOR LONDON
The Jewish Community Centre (JCC) movement was founded over 150 years ago in the United States. Today, there are over 1,100 JCCs worldwide. The JCC for London aims to provide Jews with a lasting sense of community and to promote the best of Jewish values. At its core is building Jewish life, through Jewish cultural, social, educational, and recreational activities. Social action is also central to the JCC movement – helping those in need both within and outside the Jewish community. Most JCCs have their own building where they hold extensive programmes of activities, JCC Ventures our sister organisation, is currently constructing a 35,000 sq ft state-of-the-art Jewish Community Centre building on the Finchley Road in Hampstead.

WHO IS THE JCC FOR?
The JCC for London celebrates Jewish culture. It is also inclusive: it’s for anyone interested in Jewish life and our programme of Jewish activities. It is not a place of worship, nor linked to any particular group, movement or synagogue. It’s a gateway into all things Jewish: from Jewish food to sport to Jewish arts to debate, with activities that emphasise the Jewish tradition of helping those in need. It provides an opportunity for Jews of all ages to meet other Jews; it’s a way of building a strong Jewish future for us and for our children through Jewish activities. The JCC actively welcomes observant and secular Jews, mixed partnerships, and non-Jews. Indeed, an important part of our vision is to create better understanding between different faiths and cultures.

OUR PROGRAMME
Our cutting-edge programme of events is the soul of the JCC. Applauded for its compelling and original Jewish content, highlights include a sell-out Israeli rock concert at the Southbank Centre, the Kvetch Choir, a podcast in association with The Guardian, yoga and cycling activities, children’s events, political debate and a series of social action projects. The JCC aims to hold up a 21st century lens to Jewish life, and to build a community of artists and performers. Many of our groundbreaking commissions interweave Jewish beliefs and values with those of other cultures.

JEWISH CHILD'S DAY

At Jewish Child’s Day we believe that no Jewish child, anywhere in the world, should live in poverty or need.

Jewish Child’s Day helps Jewish children in need of special care in the UK, Europe, Israel and throughout the rest of the world. Our mission is to make a positive change to the lives of disadvantaged Jewish children wherever they are. We support over 12,000 Jewish children in need every year who suffer from physical and emotional disabilities, neglect, abuse and financial hardship.

Jewish Child’s Day provides the tangible items required – wheelchairs, life-saving medical equipment, hearing equipment and special educational materials to name but a few. Although often receiving low priority, these are the items that can give a disadvantaged child the opportunity of a better quality of life.

As a grant giving charity, we allocate funds to small charities working to improve the lives of these children. Without Jewish Child’s Day, you simply would never hear of most of these life changing causes as these charities lack a voice to be able to promote their cause in the UK. Jewish Child’s Day is their voice, and our support makes a huge impact. Every grant we give targets and improves the lives of Jewish children in need.

Jewish Child’s Day constantly monitors current requests and priorities, ensuring that all funds available are used to maximum effect, whilst strictly vetting each organisation. We rely entirely on voluntary donations  to fund our vital work.’

Langdon currently offers support to over 100 young adults through Langdon College, our specialist residential college in Manchester, and Langdon Community our supported living facilities in Edgware and Manchester.

LANIADO

Laniado Hospital, founded in 1974, is the only hospital in Netanya, northern Israel, serving the largest catchment area in the Sharon region. It serves a burgeoning population of more than 450,000 people from the surrounding areas where there is no easy access to medical care.

Laniado is a hospital founded and operating on the principle that compassion, kindness and sympathy are the threads with which we can bind all humanity, irrespective of race or religion. We do not ask of our patients faith, we ask how we can best care for them when they are at their most vulnerable. Our multicultural staff – Arabs and Jews working side by side – are chosen not only for their expertise, but also for their belief in the respect for all life.

Our hospital is a symbol of what can be achieved when human beings come together with understanding and sympathy. Laniado is a haven of peace for today and a beacon of hope for tomorrow.

Functioning not just as a Community Healthcare Facility, Laniado Hospital also operates a full-scale Medical Campus that includes a Nursing School and two Geriatric-Care Centres, diligently maintaining the highest standards of medical practice. The only hospital in Israel with a no-strike policy, Laniado Hospital turns away no one in need of care, regardless of ability to pay, religious affiliation or ethnic group. For these reasons, and because of the real sense of tolerance and coexistence that it has brought to the region of Netanya, it is a unique and very special place.

Laniado is a non-profit hospital that runs an annual budget of $75 million. It receives no government funding for development, new equipment or research and depends on the generosity of benefactors to meet these needs. That is why the UK Friends of Laniado was established – to ensure that a global collective would join the efforts of this precious hospital that does so much to heal people, mend spirits and build bridges.
