Special Education
Binoh, Norwood’s education and therapy service, works with hundreds of children with special educational needs or behavioural difficulties to enhance their learning and to improve self-esteem. Specifically, programmes are designed to enable these children to remain in mainstream schools wherever possible.

The Jewish Marriage Council (JMC) is a not-for-profit organisation set up to provide sensitive support for Jewish individuals, couples and families. The Jewish Marriage Council run a counselling service for individuals and couples; their qualified and experienced counsellors work with all issues from relationship issues to family issues. No-one is turned away through lack of funds.
Special Families
This group is open to parents, grandparents and siblings of a special needs family member. Special Families is run by parents and all members have a child or young adult with Special Needs. We hold 6 meetings a year around North West London, some with a speaker and some as informal gatherings to just meet and chat - plus we run other support services including an e-group that allows the fast sharing of information, friendship and support. Don't feel you're alone and don't be shy. Join us today.
