Norwood was a parliamentary constituency in south London which returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom by the first past the post system.

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.

The novel was adapted for a 1970 film by the same name. Jack Haley, Jr. directed, and Glen Campbell and Kim Darby starred.
