Norwood, known legally as Norwood-Ravenswood, is a UK charity established in 1785 in the East End of London. Its name comes from its long running home for Jewish children, Norwood Hall, in the south London suburb of West Norwood which opened in 1863 and closed in 1961. In 1996, it merged with Ravenswood, a Berkshire-based charity for people with learning disabilities, to create one of the largest welfare organisations within the British Jewish community. Norwood currently provides hundreds of services supporting vulnerable children, families & people with learning disabilities, within the Jewish and wider communities in London and the South East. These specialist services benefit thousands of people each year and are delivered by 1,200 staff and supported by 500 volunteers. Norwood’s Patron is HM The Queen and its Patron of Children’s Services is Cherie Blair. The charity’s celebrity supporters include Simon Cowell, Elton John, David Furnish, Sir Philip Green, Roger Daltrey, Theo Paphitis, Tom Conti and Piers Morgan. == History == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Norwood (charity)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
