Norwood encourages them to make choices about their lives and works with them to achieve their goals.
Norwood offers a range of services to support the varying needs of adults aged 19 years and over, who are registered as having a learning disability.
These services are tailored according to individual need and cover the following areas:
Adult Opportunities are varied and stimulating and match individual preferences. Leisure and friendships play an important role in ensuring that adults have fulfilled lives and Norwood supports them to make choices and to access opportunities and experiences that promote their well being and enrich them.
Norwood’s Housing and Support helps people to live their lives in the type of home they choose, suiting their own particular needs. This could be in one of our registered homes, a group home or living independently in their own accommodation in London or at Ravenswood in Berkshire.
Work is a vital part of life for many of us and Norwood’s Supported Employment Service is designed to provide training and access to work experience, helping individuals to decide what kind of work they would like to do.
Our job coaches support adults with a learning disability into employment and the support is ongoing once they have found work that is right for them. All of our services reflect and promote Jewish culture, but we also welcome adults who are non-Jewish.
