Today there is an epidemic of sexually transmitted infections in the UK. The UK also has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Western Europe. The Jewish community is part of these shocking statistics. JAT answers the unspoken need to provide religiously and culturally sensitive sexual health education to Jewish youth. Annually we train 4000 young people and their youth leaders, in mainstream Jewish schools, youth groups, summer and winter camps, those going on Israel tour and students. JAT is also developing a Peer Mentoring programme and we run a programme for parents on how to talk to their children about sex. In addition, JAT provides support for people with HIV. We extend our services to the entire spectrum of the Jewish community and are not allied with any particular 'wing'.

Jewish Blind & Disabled is the only charity providing caring assisted living accommodation for people of all ages with physical disabilities or vision impairment. It transforms the lives of its 350 tenants and their families by offering independence, dignity and security at its seven complexes of apartments across north London. Tenants range from people in their early 20s to their late 90s, from people who work and live busy and active lives to people with a high level of dependency. In every case Jewish Blind & Disabled provides as much support as is needed, 24 hours a day every week of the year, in a warm and supportive Jewish environment. Jewish Blind & Disabled is a completely independent organisation, not part of any other charity, and its services are increasingly in demand. As the need for its work far outstrips its ability to supply, it has a long waiting list.

The Jewish Children's Holidays Fund has been providing holidays for Jewish children from disadvantaged homes and for those with special needs for over one hundred years. Today it helps over 400 children each year enjoy a holiday which would otherwise have been prevented by financial, social or health reasons. Many of the holidays take place at the Fund's own holiday camp: many more children are enabled to participate in holidays through other Jewish organisations. These include making significant contributions towards holidays for children with special needs. Each holiday provided now costs in excess of £400 and our contributions cover all affiliations. The Fund receives no help from any statutory source and depends on bequests and donations to continue its work, which means so much to so many families.

Elderly Jewish sign language users come to the JDA's unique Day Centre for a vibrant programme of outings, events and signed celebrations of Jewish festivals.

The institute's centenary was honoured by the State of Israel through the issue of a postage stamp in its honour and it is currently proceeding with the continued modernisation of its dormitories and facilities to meet the growing needs of the blind child in the modern Israel. The Institute warmly welcomes all visitors from abroad to tour its campus.
