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 Children’s Holidays Fund
Enfield
EN1 9SH
For over 125 years we have worked closely with other Jewish organisations to provide summer holidays for needy and underprivileged Jewish children who would otherwise go without.
During two weeks full of fun and friendship at a residential or local holiday camp they can take part in activities that include outings, quizzes, sports and swimming, whilst they socialise with other children and possibly gain respite from difficult family or personal circumstances.
The camps are strictly Kosher and Shabbat observant. We include camps with children who have disabilities. Subsidies are available and no child is turned away for financial reasons.
Please help us to support the many Jewish children who desperately need and deserve a holiday that many of us take for granted.

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.

Malki Foundation UK
London
N20 9HR
The Malki Foundation supports hundreds of Israeli families who care at home for a child with severe disabilities. We provide them with the means to obtain paramedical therapy sessions, (physical, occupational, speech, hydrotherapy and therapeutic horse riding) which are essential for the children’s development, allowing them to acquire vital skills and independence and encourage their integration into everyday life activities, when funding from the Israeli government is unavailable.
For families in Israel’s peripheral communities where therapists are scarce and travelling distances are a hardship on the parents, our supervised therapists travel directly to the child’s home. The therapies we provide enable families to keep their child with severe special needs at home rather than succumb to institutionalisation for lack of realistic alternatives.
