About Us

Norwood is Anglo-Jewry’s leading children and family services charity. We believe that every individual has the right to determine and achieve their goals in life. Our aim is to make that possible for children and adults with learning disabilities, by supporting them in the achievement of personal growth and maximum independence.

Every year we help thousands of children and their families by providing vital, specialised care to the most vulnerable members of the community. We do this by delivering high quality and easily accessible services to individual service users and the local community. Whilst our services are culturally appropriate for Jewish service users, wherever possible we also provide services to people of any race or religion.
Specialist Services:

Norwood?s services are designed to meet the needs of people coping with all kinds of issues. Examples of these might include family breakdown as a result of a recent death or divorce, raising a family as a single parent, living with a physical or learning disability or having a child with a physical or learning disability, coping with physical or emotional abuse within the family unit, investigating fostering or adoption opportunities for couples or even just learning to manage a child displaying disruptive behaviour. Norwood provides care, understanding, assistance, advice and support to parents, children & families through our network of specialist services.
