Its resources are excellent. Set in
over 120 acres of Berkshire countryside, Ravenswood Village houses
an indoor hydrotherapy pool, a coffee shop, dance and art studios,
riding school and a working garden all of which are developed
to meet the needs of residents.
Recreational, leisure and sporting activities are
equally well catered for. Ravenswood Village can even boast its
own medal winning Special Olympics team. Many residents form tandem
teams and compete in sponsored bike rides, both here and abroad,
organised by the Norwood Challenges department.
All residents are offered work-related training
programmes with the appropriate levels of support. These take
place within the village and out in the community with local shops
and businesses.
Local colleges provide further education opportunities.
Each student is given an individual learning programme and offered
the most convenient method to study, either at home, via the onsite
educational facilities or at colleges.
Residents come from many different backgrounds,
and all are encouraged to follow their own faith and culture.
However as the majority is Jewish Ravenswood Village observes
kashrut, Shabbat and the festivals and has its own on-site synagogue.
Ravenswood Village is an extremely positive place.
The happy atmosphere and the genuine sense of community touch
visitors.
