Exists for Jewish people with physical disabilities and or impaired vision aged 18 upwards to have access to housing and support so that they lead the best life they can; enabling independence, dignity and choice. This is achieved through our specially adapted mobility apartments located in our unique supportive developments or within their own home in the wider community.

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition
