Meet the staff who make a difference
A warm welcome to our spring edition of Norwood Now, which will
bring you up to date on our latest news.
Norwood’s vision is to enable people who use our services to
become as independent as possible, which is why inclusion has
been the principal focus of so many of our projects in recent
months.
A message from
the President
Limmud l’am, the Norwood Art Show and our Spurs Norwood
Altogether Project (SNAP) have all been fantastic opportunities to
celebrate the talents and abilities of people supported by Norwood,
whilst introducing them into the wider community.
And in line with this same vision, Somers Court, Norwood’s new
purpose designed block of flats in Edgware, officially opened in
September, equipped with the latest assistive technology to enable
the people who turn to us to lead fulfilling and self-supporting lives.
Norwood has spearheaded many revolutionary developments in the
Jewish community over the years and in October, we pioneered the
first Special Educational Needs (SEN) conference for Jewish schools.
Alongside London Partnerships for Jewish Schools (PaJeS) and
The Board of Deputies, Norwood welcomed 140 representatives,
including governors, head teachers and SENCOs to discuss the
future of specialist education.
But none of this would have been possible without the dedicated
staff and volunteers who support the people who use our services
and the generosity of our donors.
Your support has meant that despite many challenges, our
incredible charity has gone from strength to strength with
amazing success.
Thank you.

Welcome to the new edition of
Norwood Now.
In September, I had the pleasure
of being interviewed by Tania Bryer
as part of our YN Media event at
the London Film Museum in Covent
Garden. The collection of bright
young talent in the room and their
dedication to the future of this great
charity was nothing short of inspirational. We rely on the
community’s younger generations to secure the future of
Norwood and YN is doing an exceptional job in gaining
their support.
As you will read, the guest of honour at our Annual Dinner
in November was leader of the opposition Ed Miliband,
who praised Norwood for its valuable work, paying special
tribute to the ‘extraordinary volunteers’ who contribute so
much. I would like to take this opportunity to extend a huge
thank you myself to all our volunteers and their incredible
commitment to Norwood. The time and energy they devote
to this organisation is invaluable to our staff and the many
people who use our services.
Of course, volunteering is just one of the many ways you can
support this remarkable charity. We need your help, now
more than ever, to help us overcome the financial challenges
we continue to face in our uncertain economy. So please,
help us further shape the future of Norwood and thank you
for everything you do.

Sussex’s first commercial car wash to be exclusively staffed by people
with learning disabilities was officially launched in October. The new
Future Clean site, in Lewes, has been funded by East Sussex County
Council (ESCC) and comes hot-on-the-heels of the project’s success in
Hatch End, London, which has been in operation since last summer.
Based at East Sussex County Council car park in Lewes, the project is
founded on social enterprise principles, which means trainees are taught
important work-skills which will help them to make the transition into their
roles as permanent staff, or into wider employment.
Through the use of biodegradable cleaning fluids, Norwood Future Clean is
an eco-friendly hand valet and car wash, which is virtually waterless and in
line with Norwood’s green credentials.
The UK’s first SEN
conference spearheaded
by Norwood
Norwood, Partnerships for Jewish Schools (PaJeS) and The Board of Deputies,
hosted the first special educational needs (SEN) conference for Jewish schools in
October, at the Jewish World ORT Centre in Camden, London.
The conference welcomed 140
representatives from Jewish schools,
including governors, head teachers
and Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCO’s) and featured
workshops in areas including legal
issues and ‘battling the system’.
The morning featured a keynote speech
from André Imich, SEN advisor to the
DfE, who spoke on radical changes
to the landscape of education and
public services and the importance of
partnerships between schools.
Deputy Chair of the Trustee Board at
Norwood, David Ereira who opened the
conference said, “Every child has the
right to reach their full potential and
everyone in this room has the ability
to make that happen. Over the years,
special needs haven’t changed, the only
thing that has changed is our ability to
recognise them.”

•Adults supported by Norwood went to the Limmud conference.
•Norwood held a Purim party at JCoSS.
Making history at
Limmud
Ten adults supported by Norwood
were guests at the annual Limmud
Conference, hosted by Warwick
University, in December.
They attended as part of ‘Limmud
L’Am’ (Limmud for the People), an
initiative first run at the Limmud
Conference 2011, which focused
on including people with learning
disabilities in Limmud events.
Norwood’s Jewish Cultural Manager
Shoshana Bloom, led a session on
the subject of learning disabilities
in the Jewish community and ways
of empowering them to become
proud and active members of AngloJewry. All participants were given a
handbook to help them choose what
sessions to go to during the day,
which included a demonstration of
Tunisian cuisine and Israeli dancing.
The session, entitled, ‘If you will
it, it is no dream’ - Jews with
learning disabilities changing your
world,’ focused on challenging the
community’s perception of what it
means to have a learning disability
and how this can change the way we
think and view the world.
This year, Naomi Mushin and Rachelle
Adler, who live in one of Norwood’s
residential homes in Hendon, stayed
overnight for the first time at the
conference, which meant they were
able to enjoy the full range of evening
programming and entertainment
on offer and stay for a second day
of sessions. Naomi and Rachelle,
who are both long-time Limmud
participants, also presented talks
as part of the main Conference
programme.

A week in the life of
Dan at Binoh
By Dan Bonham
Dan is a student at Binoh, Norwood’s special education service which provides
specialist, multi-disciplinary, professional support to children with additional
and/or special education needs. He tells Norwood Now about his learning
experience over the past year.
“
My name is Dan Bonham, I
am 16 years old and I live
in Southgate.
Since leaving JFS last summer, I have
had the opportunity to go to Binoh
in the Kennedy Leigh Centre to do a
BTEC course in WorkSkills. Part of the
course is to do work experience in a
library, and attend a business session
at Hasmonean Boys School.
The aim for this BTEC is to learn
basic skills and work towards gaining
employment. This involves me doing
a work placement in my local library.
I also have Functional Skills and
Photography lessons and learn about
different types of businesses.
On Monday mornings, I go to Binoh
to learn current affairs and functional
skills in maths and english with two
other boys. In the afternoons, I learn
basic photography with a volunteer. To
end the day we learn thinking skills
with a practitioner from Hope, which
involves us learning about different
methods of using our minds.
On Tuesday mornings I am doing
work experience in my local library
in order for me to get working as an
employee. The reason I chose to do
voluntary work in a library is because
I enjoy reading books and I always
wanted to get experience of working
behind a counter and interacting with
customers.
My tutor from Binoh teaches me and
six other boys business skills, such as
learning to update a CV, which will be
helpful for when I apply for a job. We usually
start our sessions by having a current affairs
lesson. I find this very useful because it
helps me understand what happens in the
wider world, by either watching the news or
reading a newspaper.
On Thursdays, I attend Barnet College where I
am studying Functional Skills English Level 2.
I am enjoying the opportunity Binoh has
given me because my literacy is improving,
and it has helped
me become more
confident, especially
when I work in a
group.

Russell Green was amongst 100 cycling enthusiasts who took part in
Norwood’s international bike ride in Sri Lanka at the end of last year,
which covered a gruelling 400 km coast-to-coast route and raised
£400,000 for the charity. He tells us about his experience:
“
It seems that Norwood rides, for me, always bring out emotions
that I find hard to explain. Some of the acts of kindness I see
on this ride are truly inspiring.
I can fully understand why people come back year after year for more.
For some, the experience is a reality check, for others, a great way to give
something back. Many of us are swept up by the emotion, camaraderie
and warm feelings of the Norwood family. It is truly special. Whatever the
reason might be, I truly believe everyone is here for the right purpose.
For me, I feel blessed to have met and spent time with so many incredible
people. I can look back on this ride with a sense of pride, relief and
achievement and most importantly for me, I hope that I will be able to share
my experience with others in the future.
I would like to thank Norwood for making Sri Lanka yet another
unforgettable experience.
Now I’m looking forward to my next Norwood challenge
– Madagascar in October 2013. Why not join me for a
life changing experience?

thank Norwood for giving our year six pupils
the opportunity to entertain and engage
with your residents. It was a wonderful
afternoon and we thoroughly
enjoyed meeting everyone at your
beautiful home. We would love to
come again next year!”
Norwood staff also tapped into
the essence of Mitzvah

in aid of the Marie

Community Engagement and
Volunteering team graduate
in Modular Training
Since its restructure last year, the Community Engagement
and Volunteering department have introduced Modular Training
sessions for volunteers.
The aim of the training is to ensure that Norwood’s volunteers
have the skills and confidence to fulfil the roles they will be
undertaking.
Volunteers who befriend with Norwood complete five modules of
training. Pictured are our first graduates, who have completed
the programme.

Jack Freeman celebrates
85th Birthday
Jack Freeman, one of Norwood’s longest serving volunteers,
celebrated his 85th birthday in style alongside staff and fellow
volunteers in December. Jack, who has been volunteering for
Norwood for over 10 years, was thrown a surprise birthday
party at the charity’s head offices in Stanmore, to mark his
outstanding contribution.
Jack’s volunteering role is
largely administrative, and
includes tasks such as sorting
the morning post and working
with Norwood’s Fundraising
department. He says of his
volunteering duties, “I retired
and didn’t want to sit and do
nothing. It keeps my brain
working and it’s good for me as
well as it’s good for Norwood.”

Are you a
Norwood
Star?
Norwood has launched its first internal awards scheme for
volunteers. There will be four categories of awards which
will include one for staff who have gone the extra mile in
involving volunteers.
The categories will include:
Young Star – for volunteers 25 and under.
Community Engagement Norwood Star – for those involved
in committees and fundraising activities.
The Lady J Norwood Star Volunteer – for volunteers who are
25 years and over.
Norwood Star Employee – for a Norwood staff member who
involves volunteers effectively in their work.
Nominations can be received from staff, volunteers, the
people we support or from external sources. The awards
panel is chaired by Rachael Davis-Stollar who was formerly
the chair of YN.
Volunteers visited Norwood respite service Buckets & Spades,
an overnight short-break service for children and young people
with physical and learning disabilities and a number of residential
homes in Hendon, for a fantastic day filled with smiles, laughter and
lots of paint!
Hugo Bieber, co-chair of the YN Business, Finance and
Entrepreneurs Committee helped out at 55 Edgeworth Crescent.
He said, “I really enjoyed the morning and felt so pleased to be able
to spend quality time with a few people.”

Melanie
Levy
Melanie Levy joined the
Norwood Community
Engagement & Volunteering
team in 2012. Prior to this
she took a year out from
work and went to study at
seminary in Jerusalem. Her background
has predominantly been in the charity
sector working for Marie Curie Cancer
Care and St.Joseph’s Hospice. Melanie

and enjoys swimming and anything
outdoorsy
Describe your role in Community
Engagement & Volunteering?
I build links with schools, businesses,
youth groups and community groups
and promote volunteering at Norwood to
them. I also organise Norwood’s group
volunteering projects.
What drives you most in your job?
Without the help of volunteers, Norwood
would not be able to carry out much of its
vital work. A single volunteer can make
such a difference to someone’s life. By
encouraging people to volunteer and give
their time to help others, I feel that’s part
of my contribution to help society. That’s
what keeps me going!

They Think
it’s all over…
it isn’t for SNAP!
Former Tottenham captain and England player Gary Mabbutt joined a line-up
of proud staff, participants and volunteers at the Norwood Achievement
Awards in November, which were hosted at the club’s legendary stadium,
White Hart Lane.
The ceremony marked the completion of SNAP (Spurs Norwood Altogether
Project), a sports development scheme launched by Norwood and funded over the
past three and a half years by the Football Foundation, for people with learning
disabilities.
The purpose of the scheme is to provide specialised training for disability sports
coaches who will pass on their new skills to children, young people and adults
who use Norwood’s services.
Knowing that what I’m doing is for a really
worthwhile cause.
What inspires you?
In a nutshell, people. We learn from
everyone around us. I am also inspired by
the following quote: “How wonderful it is
that nobody need wait a single moment
before starting to improve the world.”
Anne Frank
Marc receives his ‘Spirit
of Sport’ award

Charles Golding
Charles Golding joined Norwood as Communications &
Marketing Director in July 2012. He brings with him 30
years experience in print, television and radio, new media,
public relations and communications. His previous roles

Tell us about your role:
I head up Norwood’s Communications and Marketing
team and am responsible for implementing its internal
and external communications and lobbying strategy, which
includes press relations, digital and marketing.
What inspires you in your job?
The professional and caring staff who work here are just
amazing. They all personally care so much, it really makes
a difference.
What do you like best about your job?
I know it sounds like a cliché, but when you have worked in
the superficial media for so long, just to use those skills in
aid of something meaningful is a great privilege.
If you could invite three guests to a dinner party,
who would they be? And why?
It would have to be Abraham, Moses and my wife Madeline.
(My wife would kill me if I invited them without her). Failing
that, Woody Allen, Isaac Bashevis Singer and Baruch
Spinoza.
If you were stranded on a desert island, what three
things would you bring with you?
My tallis and tephillin, my ipad with
remote wifi and tubes of sherbet
fountains!
If you had a superpower what
would it be?
Time travel! I have been a fan of
Doctor Who since it started, so if I
had a superpower it would be to
travel through time in a Tardis.
I’m not sure i’d like to see the
future, though!
Michael Kuperberg
Stuart Walsh, Norwood’s Human Resources Business Manager,
was enthusiastic about the results, “It was an excellent
tournament full of goals and exciting matches!” Despite the large
amount of fun that was had, it was a competition after all and four
medals were awarded to those who performed exceptionally well.
A sense of achievement was felt by all participants.”
