Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Beit Halochem UK is a charity which is devoted to raising awareness and funds for the Beit Halochem centres in Israel which provide rehabilitative services and life long care for disabled veterans of the Israeli Defence Forces along with victims of terror and their families.
It's difficult to put into words the importance I feel of supporting the work of Beit Halochem and showing gratitude and care for our brothers and sisters who have sacrificed so much for all of us. By visiting Beit Halochem and meeting veterans, I saw myself the amazing facility that Beit Halochem offers the veterans to help them along their healing and rehabilitation, and even got to play wheelchair basketball with them. The centres make a critical difference to helping them move forward at such a difficult time in their lives.
In the wake of the devastating events of October 7th 2023, the subsequent military operations have left Beit Halochem facing a critical situation. Currently, they are confronted with the pressing needs of over 14,000 newly injured soldiers and victims of terror. The toll of injured soldiers since the ground forces entered Gaza is a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges. These numbers continue to rise daily.
The 65,000+ Beit Halochem members (IDF Veterans and Victims of Terror) are given a new lease of life at Beit Halochem's four rehabilitation centres based in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa and Beer Sheva. They remain members of the organisation for the rest of their lives. The Beit Halochem centres provide a blend of exceptional rehabilitative services including physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and chiropractic treatments conducted alongside social and specialised sport options, educational programmes and a vast range of creative activities.
Each centre offers a wide choice of physical and social activities, housing an auditorium, multipurpose gymnasium, classrooms, fitness rooms, occupational and physical therapy units, trauma therapy units, a cafeteria, offices and a social wing.
