The story of how Norwood helped a man with severe physical and behavioural difficulties has been the focus of the Pesach appeal by the children and families charity, which has a £100,000 target.

Yitzchok grew up in a large family and his parents found it increasingly difficult to care for him.

In desperation, they approached their local council, which found him a place at Ravenswood, Norwood's residential village in Berkshire.

There, staff identified that his disruptive behaviour was partly through frustration at being unable to communicate.
