Leaving a lasting gift to Jewish Blind & Disabled

Jewish Blind & Disabled is the only charity in the Jewish community offering housing and support for people living with physical disabilities and / or vision impairments. At least £1 in every £3 of Jewish Blind & Disabled’s income comes from legacies.

Recent legacies have come in all different shapes and sizes, including: a generous gift that allowed us to refurbish the entrance foyer at one of our developments from a family who wanted to thank Jewish Blind & Disabled for transforming the life of a friend who lives there, and a smaller more unusual gift in a will whereby we receive regular royalties from the sale of children’s books by the author Bettina Ehrlich.

Whatever the size of the legacy, these gifts are crucial to enabling us to deliver high quality housing and support to vulnerable members of our community and their families now and for years to come.

Our specially adapted apartments remove the barriers that people with disabilities or vision impairments face when living in inappropriate housing and our Independent Living Advisory Service helps people to retain their independence in their own home in the wider community.

We know that many people put off making a Will and it can be expensive. However, it is the only way to ensure that the people and causes you care about are looked after and that your wishes are known. Jewish Blind & Disabled has recently partnered with the National Free Wills Network.

This partnership gives you the opportunity to make or update your Will conveniently and easily. An experienced

solicitor will write a Will at no cost to you. You just need to give your details and consent to pass them on to National Free Wills Network. They will then contact you with information on how to proceed, including a list of six local participating solicitors for you to choose from. There is no obligation to leave a gift in your will to Jewish Blind & Disabled, however, a gift of any size will enable us to transform more lives. Rachel Barres, Director of Fundraising said: “With thanks to recent legacies we have been able to support some of the most vulnerable people within our community. As an independent charity that does not receive any government funding, legacies are vital to us. It is only through legacies and donations that we are able to continue to develop and provide our unique offering and transform the lives of Example of Jewish Blind & Disabled mobility apartment people with physical disabilities and / or vision impairments.”

For more information about the difference that your legacy could make, or if you are interested in having a Will written, please contact Rachel on rachel@jbd.org or 020 4548 8692.

ROSH HASHANAH

BUILDING HOPE CAMPAIGN

But imagine being homeless as a fire has damaged your home, you have no money to fix this and nowhere else to go. Being incapable of walking through your front door as your debilitating illness renders you unable to climb stairs. Or living in a home that is covered in mould, where every breath you take is poisonous. Unable to afford even the basic repairs, many find themselves living in appalling, often dangerous and life-threatening conditions, with no options. If the past few years have taught us anything, it is that there is no place like home. Our homes are our shelter from the outside world, our safe haven, and our source of comfort.

JNF UK, together with Tenufa Bakehila (Building Hope) help to carry out essential repairs and upgrades to the homes of the desperate and poor and in doing so change their lives. This Rosh Hashanah, JNF UK are raising funds to continue supporting this life-changing work in deprived areas in the south of Israel.
