Norwood has appointed Yonni Abramson as its new YN Patronage Chair, as part of a
continuing effort to attract younger donors to the Charity. As part of his role,
he will be responsible for organising various networking opportunities for Norwood’s
young patrons. These include a special cocktail party for YN Patrons, which this
year takes place on Tuesday, 25 October at the Audi quattro rooms in Piccadilly,
and will be attended by special guest speaker Alan Yentob, Creative Director of 
the BBC. Yonni will also be responsible for helping to develop the YN Major Donor
programme, working both with existing YN Major Donors as well as with potential 
future supporters.

Yonni, a Partner at charity property specialists Third Sector, first became involved
with Norwood after moving to London from Manchester five years ago. He has since
attended and number of Norwood events and has been a member of the YN Property Committee
since 2009. He replaces Simon Deen and Ross Freedman, who completed their two year
tenures earlier this year.

Following his appointment as YN Patronage Chair, he said: “I have always been impressed
at how the young professional community in London recognises the importance of their
contribution to the charity sector. In light of recent government cuts, it is vital
that YN continues to help sustain Norwood’s vital services.”
