Welcome
Welcome to the Summer 2010 edition of
Norwood Now, which focuses on Norwood’s
new three-year Change a life strategy.
Each article is intended to celebrate
the principles, such as choice, control,
and independence, which underpin this
strategy, and reflect Norwood’s central
belief that people should live the life
they choose.
But don’t just
take our word
for it. Whether you are reading
about Phyllis’s first job, Laurie’s
new pool club, or Ben’s visit
to White Hart Lane, it should
be evident that the needs and
wishes of each child and adult
we support are fundamental
to how we deliver our lifechanging services.
Since launching the Change a life strategy, the political and
economic landscape has itself changed. You will be well
aware that we are now living in increasingly austere times,
which will have far-reaching implications for the world of
social care. We fully anticipated the tough times ahead as
we prepared our strategy, and planned accordingly.
However, as local authorities, who are the main purchasers
of our services, pass on Government cuts to charities like
Norwood, we will have to work even harder to ensure that
available resources are being used effectively, and that we
are providing value for money.
And, although some difficult choices will need to be made,
our aim is that we will always be the organisation that
people turn to first, and that we continue to provide goodquality, personalised services, for generations to come.
But we can’t do it alone. We will continue to rely on the
staff, volunteers and supporters whose achievements
you can also read about in these pages. For their ongoing
commitment to Norwood, we are extremely grateful.

A message from
the President
Welcome to the new edition of Norwood Now.
As you will see on the facing page, the RD Crusaders,
a rock group which I set up with Roger Daltrey of The
Who, held a fundraising concert in 2008 in aid of
a number of good causes, including Norwood. Two
years later, we were invited to
the new RD Crusaders WorkHub
in Stanmore to see how our
donation had been used.
It instantly became clear when we
visited this wonderful facility that
the money had been extremely
well spent. Each person we met
was able to demonstrate that,
through the WorkHub and the services
it offers, they had achieved greater self-esteem,
confidence and independence in their lives, and
we left feeling humbled by the inspiring work we
had witnessed.
I am incredibly proud of my association with Norwood
over the last two decades, and would urge others to
think about becoming more involved in this fantastic
organisation, particularly at this difficult time. There are
many opportunities to contribute your skills, time or
resources and, in the process, change your life as well.
Hopefully, the stories contained in this magazine, about
Norwood’s services, the people who use them, and the
dedication of its supporters, staff and volunteers, will
provide you with all the inspiration you need.

Norwood wins website ‘MOT’ Norwood goes green
At the end of last year, Norwood won the equivalent of
an MOT for its website after entering a competition run
by Cogapp, a firm which specialises in digital media. The
prize was research-based consultancy on how to improve
the navigation and effectiveness of its online presence.
Norwood has recently undertaken an eco-audit, generously
sponsored by the City of London’s City Bridge Trust, to
assess how environmentally friendly the organisation is.
The Charity will now set a series of targets and report
annually on the success of reducing its carbon footprint.

Norwood launches new three-year ‘Change a life’ strategy
Norwood has a bold new vision of the future – a three-year Change a life strategy which puts the needs and wishes of
the children, adults and families it supports at the heart of everything it does. Under its plans for 2010-13 and beyond,
Norwood will:
• Enhance its Life Long Learning services.
• Place a greater emphasis on its Supported Living services.
• Expand its Children & Family services, particularly in those areas with a rapidly growing Jewish population.
One of the key drivers of the Change a life strategy is Personalisation - a concept which puts everyone, including those
with the most complex needs, in control of their own lives, while giving them the support they need to achieve this.
This principle is exemplified by the services which are provided by Norwood at the RD Crusaders WorkHub (see below).

Roger helps
launch WorkHub
The incredible work which goes on at the RD Crusaders WorkHub
in Stanmore was showcased at its official opening in April. During
the launch event, some of the people who use the facility were able
to meet with those whose generosity made it possible – Norwood
President Richard Desmond, legendary musician Roger Daltrey, and
other members of their rock supergroup, the RD Crusaders.
The WorkHub is home to three Norwood services which aim to help
adults with learning disabilities to live a less marginalised and more
independent life within society. Through a programme of skills training,
work experience and job coaching, Norwood’s Supported Employment
service provides opportunities for people who are keen to enter the
world of work. Meanwhile, the Day Opportunities and Links services
give people the chance to broaden their horizons through a wide range
of educational, therapeutic, and leisure activities.
Roger Daltrey, lead singer of rock band The Who, said: “I know that
I speak on behalf of all the RD Crusaders when I say how delighted
I am to see the inspiring work taking place at the RD Crusaders
WorkHub, which is helping so many people with learning disabilities
to feel included in society. It has been great to have been able to play
a part in the success of this initiative and I hope that it goes from
strength to strength.”
Following the visit, we asked three people to write about the services
they use at the WorkHub, and what they thought about the visit.

One afternoon, I go to the internet café.
On Thursday, I work with Denise Perks
doing Person Centred Planning training.
This makes me think about things I like and
dislike. The open day was good. The best

and I became famous as my picture went in
the paper with me standing next to Roger.

If you ask me …
Stuart Cohen
In line with Norwood’s vision to help adults with learning
disabilities achieve greater independence in their lives, the
Charity has opened two new Supported Living facilities in north
London and Berkshire.
Supported Living allows people to take greater control over
their own living arrangements. This is because they become
individual or joint tenants and directly receive their own income
to pay for things like rent, bills, and everyday living costs.
Norwood supports people to achieve this independence by
helping them to maintain their homes and tenancy. Meanwhile,
dedicated teams of locally-based staff assist them with care
and support tasks where needed.
Two new tenants have recently moved into Norwood’s new
Supported Living home in Whetstone, while, in Berkshire, two
people have now settled into a new bungalow in Crowthorne,
close to Ravenswood. A second Supported Living flat in Berkshire
will be opening soon.
As the service develops over the next three years, Norwood
is aiming to source one and two bedroom flats and houses,
and blocks of flats where support can be shared. This
accommodation will be situated in areas with large Jewish
communities, such as Barnet, Hackney, Harrow, Hertfordshire
and Redbridge, close to local amenities, and will take advantage
of the latest assistive technology.
• See Profile: David Lione, Supported Living Business Manager, p14
Independent living for Ian
Ian Spellman has mild learning disabilities and spent
most of his early adulthood living in Norwood residential
accommodation. However, when he reached the age of 29,
he made the decision to live independently and moved into
his own flat in Finchley.
Stuart Cohen, 73, has lived at Ravenswood
since August 1963, and has been its Stores
Worker for the last 25 years.
What is your name?
Stuart Cohen.
Do you like your job?
Yes, I am 73 and still working there. I even
go and help when I’m not being paid.
What do you spend your wages on?
I sometimes go to the shops for a cake,
but I save my money for my holidays or
when I go on train trips.
What two words best describe you?
Good sort.
What one thing would make your
life better?
Moving out into the community.
What super power do you wish you had?
Super hearing.
What is your favourite book or movie
and why?
My train video, because I really love trains.
“I felt the change in my life was good as it made me feel like
a free agent to make my own decisions,” said the 45-year-old
administrator for accountancy firm Harris & Trotter, who spent
16 years working for Islington Council before moving into his
current post.
If you won the lottery, how would you
spend the money?
A lovely house in Crowthorne.
Ian is an active fundraiser for Norwood and regularly takes
part in the bike rides with his tandem team partner Ian Tate,
Head of Norwood Challenges. The pair have taken part in six
rides for the Charity and both recall their first international ride
together in 2001.
What makes you angry?
Very bad language, people swearing.
Ian Tate said: “Ian is a real success story. I really
enjoy riding with him, and it is great to see him
lead such an active
and independent life.”
Ian recently took part
in Norwood’s Capital
to Coast Cycle
Challenge for Charity,
riding tandem with

There’s a long cue for
Laurie’s new club
Avid pool player Laurie
Decker, was getting a
little bored of playing
against the same
person, so in April he
decided to launch a
new club called Pool
Pals. Laurie, who lives
in Norwood residential
accommodation in
Harrow, sent a flyer to
fellow residents living in
and around the area
informing them of his
new venture.
Laurie Decker
Phyllis’s
first job
The club, which meets monthly at Riley’s pool and snooker bar in Harrow,
currently has 10 players and is continuing to grow. The aim of Pool Pals is to
give the people who use Norwood’s services the chance to play pool and make
new friends. They are also able to choose whether they would like to play a
friendly or competitive game. Trophies will be awarded to players every six
months at a ‘fun awards’ ceremony held at Laurie’s flat.
Laurie, who generously paid for the first Pool Pals session himself, said:
“I love playing pool. The Pool Pals club means that I can play snooker and have
a shandy with new friends. I am very happy about it.”
Norwood’s in bloom,
thanks to Nigel
The current dry spell is proving to be a
curse for gardeners up and down the
country. But the summer heat isn’t
wilting the determination of one greenfingered gardening enthusiast.
Nigel Quinn, 46, who lives in Norwood
residential accommodation in Hendon,
is becoming a regular fixture at the
WorkHub in Stanmore. Nigel was part of
a gardening project which transformed
the yard behind the building earlier this
year, and he enjoyed it so much that he
is now employed to maintain the area
twice a week.
added: “It’s really nice. I enjoy the
work and it’s good for me. I’m happy
here.” Nigel is also a member of
Links, Norwood’s recreational service
for adults with learning disabilities,
and attends the swimming and keep
fit sessions organised by the Day
Opportunities team.
While most 61-year-olds
are coming to the end of
their careers, and could be
forgiven for wanting to take
it easy, Phyllis Melinek took
a big step in the opposite
direction and decided to
apply for her first ever job.
She now works as a courier
delivering internal mail
between Norwood facilities.
Phyllis, who lives in Norwood
residential accommodation in
Hendon, occasionally attends
Links activities, enjoys singalong sessions run by the
Day Opportunities team,
and has completed Person
Centred Planning and Money
Handling workshops at the
WorkHub. However, the
Dusty Springfield fan, who
loves listening to Magic
FM, had never considered
employment before.
Emma Davis, Norwood’s
Supported Employment
Manager, who supports her
during her shifts, said Phyllis
used to spend her time
travelling on public transport
and walking to the shops.
“Now she has a purpose in
life and loves the fact she is
earning her own money,” she
added. “She enjoys seeing
her friends and the staff in
the homes, so this job is
really suited to her.”
During his regular two-hour shifts on
Tuesday and Friday, Nigel is responsible
for sweeping the yard, watering the
plants and washing the windows. He
does such a good job, that he has
also been asked to take over the
maintenance of outdoor areas in and
around Norwood’s nearby head office.
John Crowe, his Norwood Job Coach,
said that he has noticed an immediate
improvement in Nigel’s confidence and
communication skills. Nigel, who had
no previous employment experience,

Phyllis said: “This is my
first job. I enjoy it, it’s nice.
I didn’t do much before I had
a job, and it gets me out.”

Hackney sensory room
Tiny hands were given the chance
to get to grips with some of the
new equipment at the launch of a
refurbished soft play and sensory
room at the Somers Children & Family
Centre in Hackney. The facility had
been given a make-over thanks to a
£20,000 grant from The President’s
Club Charitable Trust, which helped to
buy new soft flooring and audio-visual
equipment. The money has also been
used to purchase some new toys for
the centre’s Toy Library. The revamped
facility was officially opened by Norma
Brier, Norwood’s Chief Executive,
in June.
Parents group partnership
Norwood’s Family Support team in Hendon has joined up with a local parent
support group, HOPE (Harrow Offering Parents Encouragement), to offer a
groundbreaking service for teenagers and parents who find it difficult to cope with
their anger.
During regular Anger Management Workshops, two groups, one for the parents
and the other for young people aged between 11 and 14, meet simultaneously at
Norwood’s Kennedy Leigh Children & Family Centre.
The sessions give the younger participants the chance to examine some of the
reasons behind their angry outbursts, while their parents are able to discuss how
they would ideally like their children to express their emotions. The groups also
explore strategies for managing their own anger, and come up with ideas about
how to handle other people’s anger.
Feedback has been very good and there have been requests for more support
for parents of teenagers. One parent said that the skills she and her son have
learnt have made a huge difference to life at home, and that he was like
‘a different person’.
Adam plays catch with club co-ordinator Michelle Benson
Now in its fifth year,
Walking Tall is a
therapeutic Norwood art
and play group for children
aged between seven and
11. The aim of the group
is to help children feel
good about themselves,
by boosting self-confidence,
self-esteem, and selfawareness, and hopefully
prevent problems emerging
later on life. It also helps
children develop their skills
and strengths in coping
with their emotional lives,
and explores ways in which
they can approach a range
of issues, such as dealing
with friends, siblings,
school and, depending
on the make up of the
group, life events such
as family break up and
bereavements.
Since its launch, feedback
has indicated that parents
and children have benefited
immensely from the
service. Comments from
the participants include
‘I have more friends’,
‘I know myself better’,
‘I know what to do with my
worries’, and ‘I can say
how I feel now’. Norwood
Social Worker Rachel
Hemo-Laiter said: “All the
parents and children have
given positive feedback as
they experience emotional
growth and development.”
Norwood receives
£50,000 Children
in Need grant
Norwood has launched a new Sunday club offering
a range of activities, workshops and outings for
young people with disabilities, thanks to a three-year
£50,000 grant from Children in Need. The weekly
term-time club will be based at the Kennedy Leigh
Children & Family Centre in Hendon and will cater for
seven young people aged between 12 and 18.

Lifelong Spurs fan Ben Silver, didn’t have to think twice when he

White Hart Lane, the team’s home ground. Ben, 33, has been a
keen participant in SNAP (Spurs Norwood Altogether Project), and the
Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, which runs the sports initiative with
Norwood, organised the day to celebrate its work with key partners.
Ben, who lives in Norwood
residential accommodation
in Stanmore and uses a

share his experience at ‘The

Peter Behan. Meanwhile, his
dad Michael, also a fanatical
Tottenham supporter, and
key worker Melissa Geron,

On the day, Ben and the

Speaking the same
language through U-Me
Norwood is creating a common language for the people who use
its services through the exciting new U-Me (Understanding Me)
project. The project, which was launched at Ravenswood, is set
to ensure that the communication needs of all residents are met,
and will raise awareness of the importance of communication.
Research conducted within Ravenswood found that residents were being
encouraged to communicate in different ways, and a common language
was missing. Now, with the use of the Picture Exchange Communication
System (PECS) and Makaton, each resident will receive support from
a Communication Champion to communicate in the same way.
The common language will not only be for Ravenswood residents,
but for all Norwood staff, who will have the opportunity to attend a
course providing them with the skills they need to start using the
language. U-Me will eventually be rolled out across the organisation.
If you work within Ravenswood, and would like information
about becoming a Communication Champion, please
contact Phil Hooper on 01344 755 543.
Purim and Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s
Independence Day, were just two of
the many Jewish festivals celebrated
across Norwood’s services in recent
months. People living in Norwood
residential accommodation also held
their own Pesach Seders, including a
Seder in Hendon which is described
below in an article written by Naomi
Mushin and Rachelle Adler.
At the beginning, we had a meeting
with everybody from our house to
talk about what we would like to do
for Seder night. Everybody wanted
a big Seder. We asked people from
nearby houses, all our families, Denise
Banks and Shoshana Bloom. We also
asked Jon Pentel (husband of home
manager Arlene) to take the service.
We planned our food, including a huge
turkey that lasted for two days. We
cleaned the house from top to bottom.
It was very busy on that day as staff
had to change the items in the kitchen.
We had a big, long table in the lounge.
Twenty two people came to our place.
Another house brought the dessert and
drinks. Jon helped us to say the prayers,
we all said Ma Nishtana together and
we sung many songs. Jon also explained
why this night is different from other
nights. I found the Afikomen but I
didn’t get a prize, I don’t know why.
We loved the Seder night and we would
like many, many more Seder nights
like this one.

Property Lunch
raises £500,000
Serial entrepreneur and philanthropist
Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou spoke glowingly
about Norwood’s Supported Employment
Service, as he helped the Charity raise
an incredible £75,000 at its annual
Business Breakfast in February. Sir
Stelios, who was knighted in 2006,
acknowledged the groundbreaking
service as ‘a very worthwhile project’.
He told guests about the difficulties
faced by people with disabilities who are
looking for paid employment, and said
one option was to support them to set
up their own business.
Journalist and TV personality Piers Morgan was the guest of honour
at Norwood’s annual Property Lunch in June. The event, which is one
of Norwood’s biggest fundraising events, saw more than 600 industry
professionals down their tools and raise an incredible £500,000 for
the Charity. The lunch was sponsored by Amlin, Derwent London,
Savills and Earlcrown, while its media sponsor was Property Week.
The founder of the easyGroup also
spoke about his own exciting career
at the event, which was held at the
Chancery Court Hotel in Holborn and
attracted 240 professionals from across
the business spectrum.
Guests were treated to a one-off, no holds barred interview between
Piers and Richard Desmond, Norwood’s President, who didn’t have to
try too hard to prise an opinion from the Britain’s Got Talent judge on
his colourful career, the phenomenon of celebrity, the new coalition
Government and his beloved Arsenal.
Following the Business Breakfast, he
said: “I’ve been very impressed with
the way Norwood helps to change lives,
and I believe we should all try and help
change lives by doing what we’re good
at ourselves. For example, I think I have
a talent for entrepreneurship, so I try
and change lives by helping people to
become entrepreneurs.”
Meanwhile, industry high-flyers were recognised for their excellence and
achievements in business through the Norwood Property Awards.
These were presented to: Drivas Jonas and Deloitte for Deal of The
Year, Irvine Sellar, of Sellar Properties, for Development of The Year,
and to Earlcrown for Prime London Residential Developer of the Year.
The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Sir John Ritblat,
former Chairman and current Honorary President of British Land.
Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou
mingles with guests
A fundraising appeal was also made by Gary Sacks, Norwood’s Chair
of Fundraising, and Daniela Phillips, who lives in Norwood Supported
Living accommodation and has used the Charity’s services throughout
her life.
After the event, Piers said: “I would just like to say how proud I am to
be involved with this excellent charity. It’s one of those charities that
is very well run, it’s very efficient, and you know where your money is
going. You also get to meet lovely people, like Daniela, whose lives
have been immeasurably changed, for the better, as a direct result of
events like these.”

Simon says: ‘Why not get
fundraising for Norwood?’
Norwood’s new YN Co-Chair has spoken of his desire to take YN to
‘new heights’ following his appointment in April. Simon Walton has
joined fellow Co-Chair Rachael Davis Stollar at the head of the YN
Board, which oversees every aspect of YN fundraising.
Simon, 28, a solicitor at top UK law firm Rosenblatt, has been a
committed Norwood fundraiser since childhood and, as an 18-year-old,
ran the London Marathon for the Charity. He replaces Simon Deen,
who after three years has reached the end of his term in office. Simon
Deen will now join Ross Freedman as Norwood’s second YN Patronage
Co-Chair, with responsibility for helping to attract new YN donors.
Simon’s appointment comes amid a busy period for YN, which over
the last six months has raised an incredible amount of money for the
Charity through a range of high-profile events.
More than 200 people working in the property industry attended the
fourth YN Property event in March, raising £42,000, while a few weeks
later more than 180 finance professionals raised £32,000 at the
YN Finance Q&A Time.

the funds we raise
No Challenge too great
Norwood’s Challenges calendar has been bursting
at the seams this year, as hundreds of fundraisers
have run, walked, cycled and even toddled their way
to raise incredible amounts of money for the Charity.
Twenty six athletes made up the Norwood team
at this year’s London Marathon in April, and
together raised a staggering £100,000. Among the
participants were 67-year-old great-grandmother and
marathon regular Flora Frank, and brothers Harry,
Joe, Sam, and Jacob Green, who raised a combined
total of £14,000.
Moving from leg work to pedal power, around 340
people saddled up for the annual Junior Bike Ride
in June. The 10-mile off road adventure was held
in Elstree and helped raise £35,000, while a week
later over 1,400 cyclists took to the South Downs
for the Capital to Coast Cycle Challenge for Charity,
raising £250,000.
Meanwhile, fundraisers of all ages and abilities
were encouraged to put their best foot forward at
the annual Waterside Walk, in the grounds of
Windsor Great Park, and at Norwood’s first Teeny
Tiny Toddle, a mini-marathon for toddlers held in
Shenley Park. The events collectively raised £9,000.

And if that was not enough, Norwood is putting the
finishing touches to its Kilimanjaro Climb and Kenya
Bike Ride in October, and the Israel Bike Ride in
November. There are places available for both rides.
Several Norwood supporters have also held their
own ‘DIY’ challenges. These include a cycle ride
across Ireland, which is on target to raise £55,000
for a new adventure playground at the Kennedy
Leigh Children & Family Centre, and a sponsored
swimathon organised by 11-year-old Candice Tucker,
which raised an incredible £9,000.

generously sponsored the lunch, allowing all
proceeds to go directly to the Charity.

Stirling and Linda
are making it count
Husband and wife team Stirling and Linda Murray
wanted to ‘make it count’, and contribute their
time as hands-on volunteers. They became involved
with Norwood when their son, Simon, did some
work at the Charity’s head office last summer.
He met with Volunteer Co-ordinator Esta Lewis, who
recommended that the pair become befrienders at
a Norwood residential home in Ilford.
Stirling and Linda first met the residents in January
and have continued to visit them every Tuesday since
then. Stirling said: “We are both absolutely delighted
with the befriending scheme, we get so much out of
meeting the residents and we hope that they enjoy
it as much as we do. We have never volunteered
before and I think that if we can do it, so could
anybody else.”
The residents, who have become firm friends with
the Murrays, have invited the pair for dinner and
have also enjoyed a barbeque at Stirling and Linda’s
home. Simone Malitskie, the only female resident
at the home, said: “I enjoy seeing Stirling and Linda,
I enjoy talking to them and playing board games and
I like it when Linda paints my nails.”
Enabling access
to volunteering
Norwood has received £3,000 from an organisation
which aims to help people with disabilities to take part in
voluntary work. The Access to Volunteering grant, provided
by the Office for Civil Society, will allow Norwood to assign
a job coach to two individuals who need staff support to
travel to and from voluntary work placements.
Many people with learning disabilities often have very
little or no experience of the variety of jobs they can
access. However, through volunteering they are given the
opportunity to make informed choices about the type of
work they would like to do. It allows people to gain further
knowledge and skills around the ethos of work, helps
to improve self confidence and self esteem, and is a
potential springboard into paid employment.

Microsoft volunteers giving garden
furniture at Ravenswood a lick of paint
The IT crowd give
Ravenswood a make-over
For the third year in a row, employees of IT giant
Microsoft, swapped their computers for gardening
tools to volunteer at Ravenswood for two days in May.
An impressive 75 volunteers took part in a number of
projects, which included a garden makeover at Tikvah,
a shingle garden and bird bath at The Elms, and the
painting of a pergola which has been built in memory of
one of the residents. The stables also had some loving
care and attention as the volunteers moved sheds,
painted panels and removed ragwort weed, which is
poisonous to horses.
Jane Philips, Volunteer Coordinator at Ravenswood,
said: “We all like it when Microsoft come and visit,
the residents really enjoy it and help alongside. I have
been very lucky to gain some permanent volunteers
from Microsoft, who have signed up as they want to
contribute more than two days a year.” Meanwhile, two
teams of ten volunteers from Goldman Sachs visited
Buckets and Spades Lodge in May, to help decorate
the play room and bedrooms.
Norwood volunteers honoured
at Barnet awards
In March, volunteers from the Norwood charity shop in
Edgware were invited to attend the Barnet Community
Volunteer Awards. The event acknowledged the hard
work and efforts of volunteers who have completed a
minimum of 100 hours of volunteering in the last year,
within the London Borough of Barnet.
The Norwood volunteers who received certificates at
the event were Leni Kariel, Martin Primhak and Sajid
Shaikh. Leni Kariel, who has been volunteering with
Norwood for
15 years, said:
“The room was
full of volunteers
who were being
honoured,
everyone was
very friendly and
the ceremony
was very nice.”

Young volunteers
are getting involved
Charity from schools
in the north London
area and from Jewish
youth movement
groups. A number of
Unity volunteers also
use the opportunity
to spend time with
siblings who use
the service.
“Without the young
volunteers, I don’t
think the atmosphere would
be as wonderful as it is at Unity,”
said Gloria. “It makes the service
users very happy to interact with
people closer to their own age.”
Rachel Mattey
An increasing number of young
people are giving up their free time
for Norwood, and it is thought that
under-30s now make up around
one third of Norwood’s volunteer
base. Their dedication can be
felt across the organisation, but
the largest number of young
volunteers are involved with Unity,
Norwood’s recreational service for
children and young people with
disabilities.
Gloria Stoll, Volunteer Coordinator
for Unity, said she receives a lot of
referrals relating to young people
who want to volunteer with the
Rachel Mattey, 21, who volunteers
at Unity and with Norwood’s
Fundraising team, said: “When I
first started volunteering I was a
little nervous as I didn’t have any
experience working with children
with learning disabilities. However,
after a couple of sessions, I was
completely hooked. Volunteering
is my favourite part of the week
and as a result, I am considering
working for a charity as a career.”
Ohr HaYeled are runners
up in JVN awards
Outings group, Ohr HaYeled was shortlisted in the ‘Team of the
Year’ category at the Jewish Volunteering Network Awards, held at
the London Jewish Cultural Centre in June. Ohr HaYeled, which is
self-funded and has 25 volunteers, runs around eight outings a year
for socially disadvantaged children aged between six and 16. These
children have been referred by Norwood’s Family Support team and
are mainly from the Orthodox Jewish community.
Harvey Freeman, who runs the group, was ‘thrilled’ at the recognition
the group received, and will continue to organise a range of exciting
activities, including ten pin bowling, pottery, painting and picnics.
Mentor Helen
is supporting
people into work
Norwood volunteer, Helen Rothfeder has
swapped her role as an administrator
at the Charity’s head office to become
the first of a new type of mentor,
helping adults with learning disabilities
to develop their confidence as they
prepare to enter the world of work.
The mentoring initiative is a new
scheme, launched at Norwood’s charity
shop in Stanmore, which gives people
who use Norwood’s services the
opportunity to undergo retail training.
Helen is the first mentor to take part
in the programme and meets with her
mentee once a week. “I try and pass
on the ‘rules’ of a working environment
and why it is important to turn up to
work on time, the general routine of
having a job and the everyday tasks
that come hand in hand with this,”
she said.
Linda Looney, Project Development
Manager for Norwood, said: “Helen
has been great from the outset, and
has had the philosophy of wanting to
enable people to become independent
in their own right, which is an essential
quality for a specialist volunteer.
“All mentors initially work with a
job coach to learn how to effectively
mentor, and we are actively looking
for other people to take part in the
mentoring scheme.”
If you want to help people learn
new skills and become more
independent, please contact Linda
Looney, Project Development Manager,
on 020 8420 6921.

Supported Living Business Manager
New Head of Children’s Services
Karen Goodman joined Norwood as its new Head of Children’s
Services in July. Karen has worked in children’s services throughout
her career, both in the public and voluntary sector. She was
previously Head of Service for Unaccompanied and Asylum Seeking
Children for Kent County Council.
Norwood’s NVQ Award winners
The achievements of around 60 frontline care staff were celebrated
in May, as they received their hard-earned National Vocational
Qualifications in Health and Social Care at ceremonies in London
and Berkshire.
Small is beautiful
David Lione
David Lione has worked for Norwood in a
variety of roles for almost 20 years. He was
appointed as the Supported Living Business
Manager for London, Berkshire and Sussex
last year. He is a keen artist, who also enjoys
reading, listening to music, and coastal and
river walking.
Norwood’s Human Resources team offers a programme of Bite Size
workshops throughout the year. Each workshop lasts for around an
hour and covers such topics as interviewing skills, probation and
supervision, absence management and return to work interviews.
Their aim is to provide attendees with a quick overview of a subject
and to share knowledge, ideas and experiences in staff management
and support. They also enable managers and supervisors to develop
their people management skills without taking too much time away
from their work. For more information, contact Stuart Walsh, HR
Manager, by e-mailing [email protected]
What is Supported Living?
This basically means that people either
rent, or own, their own homes, but
receive Norwood’s support to live there as
independently as possible. Supported Living
gives people greater choice and control over
their own lives, and helps them to become
more independent.
How will it develop as a service?
Under Norwood’s new three-year strategic
plan, we will give, where appropriate,
more people with learning disabilities the
opportunity to move from registered homes
into flats or houses in communities with
large Jewish populations. Norwood will offer
support ranging from a few hours a week to
24 hours a day, depending on the person’s
requirements.
What do you do on a typical day?
I normally start between 7.30-8am by
responding to e-mails, voicemails and
messages. I then spend the rest of the day
attending planned meetings with colleagues
from other departments, and external
stakeholders in any of the regions where
Norwood provides services.
Who or what most inspires you?
There have been a number of special
individuals that I have supported over the
years that have been inspirational, and had a
great impact on how I think and do things.
What is your greatest achievement?
Appearing on Blockbusters with Bob Holness
when I was 17, and doing a ‘Gold Run’!
If you had a superpower, what would it be?
To read people’s minds. It would make so
much difference on the world stage, and
particularly when dealing with my wife!

‘An excellent experience
I’ll never forget’
A new initiative which provides non-operational staff with the
opportunity to work directly in an operational role, is now fully
up and running. The aim of the scheme is to give staff an
insight into the challenges of providing support to the people
who use Norwood’s services, and reflect on how they can
better assist operational staff in their roles.
A host of opportunities were identified across the organisation,
from running errands with residents of the Orchard home at
Ravenswood, to accompanying a Unity outing to the zoo. Nonoperational staff were then able to select a placement they felt
most comfortable with.
Chhaya Vekaria, Learning & Development Co-ordinator at
Broadway House, accompanied two Norwood residents, Naomi
Mushin and David Greenfield, to an Arsenal game. “I was
initially very nervous, as I felt it was a great responsibility to
look after David and Naomi,” she said. “However I was well
briefed by the staff, and once I met them both, I knew we were
going to have a great time. It was an excellent experience
which I will never forget.” You can find out more information
about placements from your line manager.

A Day in the Life…
Shoshana Bloom, Norwood’s
Jewish Cultural Manager
“
On starting at Norwood in
January, I quickly learned that
in my role there is no such thing as
a typical day. Whatever I may have
planned to do on a particular day,
I also need to be flexible enough
to respond to any questions or
concerns that a service user or
support worker may have with regard
to Jewish cultural matters. People
can contact me about any aspect of
Jewish culture where they may need
support, and conversations like this
can quite often lead to a new piece
of work or highlight new material that
needs to be developed.
On any given day I could be working
on producing an event for service
users, along the lines of the parties
we had earlier this year for Purim,
Yom Ha’atzmaut and Lag B’Omer,
or creating literature for the homes
about an upcoming Jewish festival
as part of my work on cultural
learning and development for staff.
At the moment I am busy preparing
the cultural calendar of events and
programmes to be launched at Rosh
Hashanah, the Jewish New Year,
which starts in September.
This will include some exciting plans
such as the creation of new service
user led cultural committees, which
will ensure they have an active say in
the development and direction of our
Jewish cultural programme. This will
generate ideas that can be added
to our list of new activities. These
include Norwood’s Jewish version of
a ’Glee’ choir, Hebrew courses, Rosh
Chodesh groups, ‘how to’ courses
on Shabbat and festivals, Israeli
dancing, outings and events, to
name but a few.
Another large part of my role is
working on the issues of accessibility
and integration into the Jewish
community for people with learning
disabilities. As Norwood is committed
to supporting people to lead as
independent a life as possible,
I spend a lot of my time developing
relationships with synagogues,
You’re hired! New inclusive
recruitment scheme
Norwood has launched an innovative scheme which will ensure that the
people who use our services are integral to the appointment of new
employees. The Inclusive Recruitment initiative has been successfully
trialled across Norwood services in Berkshire and London and is set to
be rolled out across all services over the next six to nine months.
Under the scheme, the people who use Norwood’s services will be
encouraged to participate in its recruitment campaigns in a number of
different ways:
• People will have the opportunity to sit in on interviews and ask
questions of prospective employees.
• Those who are unable to communicate verbally will be supported to
draw up a ‘wish list’ describing their ideal candidate.
• Others will contribute to job descriptions, review interview questions,
and assess how applicants interact with people who use the services.
The launch of this exciting project is being overseen by a steering
committee which includes staff from across the organisation and, of
course, a selection of people who use Norwood services.
Norwood Support Worker Karolina Snopek, who works in Redbridge, was
recently recruited under the initiative. She said: “I think this is the best
way for a charity like Norwood to find suitable employees. It also gave
me a better idea of who I would be working with.”
Shoshana Bloom
communal organisations and
individuals. My aim is to help them
understand the issues faced by
our service users and improve
accessibility and inclusiveness in
every aspect of Jewish life.
My role keeps me very busy, but
I absolutely love it. My favourite part
of the job is interacting with the
service users about what they would
like to see happen, thereby helping
me to develop new ideas, activities
and programmes. Norwood is
committed to supporting our service
users to lead a full Jewish life through
a varied, fun, meaningful and vibrant
Jewish cultural programme, that
I am thrilled to be a part of.
