YN – Young Norwood

Norwood’s professional network for people aged 18-35

Are you a young professional looking to make a difference in your community? Then YN Norwood is for you.

There are many different ways in which you can get involved:

YN Business and Entrepreneurs
The committee is responsible for organizing our YN Business Entrepreneurs event. This event is an annual get-together for YN members that provides a great opportunity for networking with thought-leaders and professionals from a variety of fields including technology, finance, media, law and start-ups. The event itself is less sit-down dinner and more relaxed drinks and finger food with key speakers from across the fields this committee covers. Why not get involved and help to shape the future of this event?

YN Property Awards Dinner
This committee drives Norwood’s key awards evening for the property market. From start-up of the year to deal of the year, the annual YN Property Awards Dinner provides a key opportunity for smaller, upcoming businesses to mingle with key players before and after the handing out of the awards. The YN Property Awards Dinner also features top-level entertainment, top-notch food and drink and an auction hosted by the legendary Jonny Gould. Would you like to get involved in planning and running this annual celebration of all things property? Get in touch with Becky Woolfe at Norwood.

YN Social
This committee consists of a group of young professionals who work together each year to put on an exciting social event for the YN community. Over the years this event has featured everything from stand-up comedy and cocktails to a social evening at Google HQ to last year’s night of raucous fun in an adult ball pit in east London. The YN Social is the perfect event to either go with a group of existing friends or meet and make new ones. The YN Social committee is actively recruiting new members. What are you waiting for? Come and help us plan another joyous social night in aid of Norwood.

YN Friends Of
The YN Friends Of Committee provides young professionals with the opportunity to get directly involved with the people we support by donating their time to our services. Being a part of this committee will allow you to see first-hand the difference Norwood makes to the lives of those we support and allows you to be a part of our work.Our aim is to have a group of dedicated volunteers for each of our 12 homes. If you would like to get involved with the YN Friends Of or other ways to volunteer, get in touch.
