The Jewish Blind Society (Scotland) seeking new referrals

The Jewish Blind Society (Scotland) are seeking new referrals.  The Jewish Blind Society (Scotland) offer support to people including grants to improve their quality of life.

 

Originally established to provide care, entertainment and outings for members of the Jewish community with visual impairments, the Society has broadened its scope thanks to a welcome reduction in the number of clients with severe visual impairment.   The Jewish Blind Society now financially support Jewish Care Scotland, The Respite Fund and Chai Cancer Care in Scotland to deliver their services to those in need.

 

The Jewish Blind Society (Scotland) are working closely with Jewish Care Scotland to ensure that people who are eligible for financial support are aware of the grants available by creating strong referral pathways for Jewish Care Scotland clients to apply.

 

Chairman of The Jewish Blind Society (Scotland) Jonathan Lewis said, “We are delighted to support and work with Jewish Care Scotland and Chai Cancer Care in Scotland to reach those who need our assistance.  We are keen to reach more people, who might not be involved with any other organisation, who have a real need that we could meet.  Our aim is ultimately to improve the quality of life for people in the community who have a visual, physical or age-related impairment or chronic illness and we welcome their requests for support directly.”

 

Requests for support can be made directly by contacting The Jewish Blind Society (Scotland) by calling 0141 620 3339 or emailing jbs@jcarescot.org.uk.  All enquiries are treated with discretion and respect.
