In January 2008, Cherie Blair officially opened Wellbeing at Bearsted, a centre offering health and wellbeing services to the local Orthodox Community in Hackney. In June 2008, The Hope Charity, a London-based organisation supporting children with special educational needs, joined Norwood's umbrella of children and family services. Norwood also opened a new integrated nursery in Hendon in September 2008, accommodating children who have disabilities or require additional support, as well as providing a first-class facility for children who have no special needs. In 2008 and 2009, two new specialised facilities were completed at Ravenswood.
