The Society, now in its 61st year, started off by providing care, entertainment, outings, readings and clubs for the blind and partially sighted members of the Jewish community.
Thankfully as time has progressed advances in medical science has enabled the successful treatment of many common eye conditions which has resulted in a reduction of those with blindness or visual impairment. We now also assist those who are in financial hardship and are registered blind or partially sighted, who suffer from a physical disability and are non-ambulant, who have a chronic or terminal illness or who have age related special needs. We do this by continuing to fund individuals directly as well as by providing indirect support through organisations such as Jewish Care Scotland – directly and through their Hardship Fund, the Jewish Respite Fund and Chai Cancer Care in Glasgow.
