I am pleased to announce that after a rigorous two-year process, the Kisharon and Langdon merger process has now started.
Preparing for Pesach starts early at Kisharon with everyone keen to familiarise themselves once again with the Pesach story and traditions.
The run-up to Purim at Kisharon can be just as hectic as the day itself and staff start preparations early so everyone can enjoy the noisiest, most boisterous – but arguably the most fun – festival in the Jewish calendar.
The sheer volume of orders for mishloach manot took everyone by surprise and kept people at Kisharon busy for weeks.
Kisharon now has its second Year 12 intake of new staff on board – 16 students from schools including Hasmonean High School, JFS and Haberdashers’ Boys’ School.
Giving a person we support a shower, helping with their breakfast and lending them a hand at the shops was all in a day’s work for Kisharon Chief Executive Richard Franklin when he did a shift as a support worker.
Three years ago, Langdon and Kisharon commissioned a report into the provision of services for people with learning disabilities and autism in the Jewish community, with the aim of projecting future need over the next 15+ years.
Kisharon’s adult day opportunities, offering rewarding times for those with learning disabilities, can be a lifeline for parents and support workers during the summer months.
