Welcome to our first newsletter of 2025.
 
Earlier this month, we held our Great Winter Get Together, bringing people of all ages together for a day of creativity, laughter and connection to banish the winter blues. At Nova, fostering growth through learning is central to what we do, and this gathering was the perfect opportunity to put away our screens and try our hand at something more physically tangible. From the quietly satisfying craft of crochet and the creation of aromatic skincare to designing personalised calendars and recording powerhouse vocals in the mini studio, it was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to learn something new and perhaps spark new interests to enrich our lives.
 
Looking ahead, we will continue to offer opportunities for learning, growth and new experiences. We’re excited about the possibilities this year holds, and hope it brings plenty of chances for you to discover, create and thrive too.
 
Thank you to Westway Trust and Peabody for their generous funding.

Trips & activities for all the family 
A fun-packed holiday 
 
Our Family Programme organised another fantastic festive schedule of trips and activities during the Christmas holidays. From educational trips to museums and zoos to exhilarating theatrical and cinematic experiences, it was all topped off with some fancy footwork at the ice rink. 
 
In all, over 700 moments of joy were delivered to 580 people – a feat that would even challenge Santa himself!
 
Thank you to John Lyon's Charity and RBKC for their generous support.
