Israel Guide Dog Centre UK
Borehamwood, Herts.
London
WD6 9JE
The Israel Guide Dog Centre (IGDC), established in 1991, offers a beacon of light and hope for people with blindness or PTSD, and families of children with autism. The unique bond between a dog and its partner brings companionship, confidence, and ultimately independence for the partner, helping them cope with day-to-day activities, employment, education, social events, and travel.
We provide guide dogs for people with vision impairment and specially-trained service dogs for people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. And we also enable children with autism to have a higher quality of life by providing them with emotional support dogs.
We provide all our services free of charge and rely on charitable donations from donors in Israel and around the world.

Jewish Blind & Disabled (JBD)
Bittacy Hill, Mill Hill East
London
NW7 1GT
Jewish Blind & Disabled transforms the lives of Jewish adults, aged 18 upwards, who have a physical disability and / or vision impairment through independent living and support. This is provided through our specially adapted mobility apartments located in one of our 7 unique, supportive developments or within their own home, through our Independent Living Advisory Service.
Demand for our unique offering has significantly increased since Covid and we expect this will continue for many years. As an independent charity that does not receive any government funding, it is only with the support of legacies and donations that we can continue to protect and support people that need us.

Registered Charity No. 1105845
Most of us will eventually face the trauma of hearing loss, or already have a loved one who is. With your help we can:
• Support families – from the devastating diagnosis of their baby’s deafness – and enable a new generation of deaf children to fulfil their potential and flourish
• Rescue older people living in care homes from isolation and loneliness and enable them to chat, join in activities and enjoy their final years
• Give lifelong care and support to vulnerable deaf and deafblind people
• Help more people to adapt to traumatic changes as they lose their hearing.
JDA enables people living with deafness to cope with whatever challenges life brings – as no other organisation can. We receive no statutory funding and depend on legacies and donations to provide a lifeline for the Jewish community and beyond.
