Brighton care organisation Sussex Tikvah is to come under Norwood’s aegis following approval of the move at an EGM on Sunday.

Sussex Tikvah operates Rachel Mazzier House, which is home to six adults with moderate learning disabilities.

Welcoming Sussex Tikvah to the fold, Norwood chief executive Norma Brier said: “We will continue to develop person-centred plans with the residents to ensure they receive the services they need, and to help them achieve their full potential in life.”

Sussex Tikvah chairman Arthur Oppenheimer feels “Norwood is well-placed to meet the individual needs of the residents. We’d like to thank our dedicated staff, parents and the Brighton and Hove Jewish community for their continued support.”
