What better way to begin than with news of our recent Annual Achievement Awards? But what does achievement look like at Nova? People come to us for many reasons: to learn, to overcome challenges, to connect with others or to give back through their time and skills. So, for us, achievement is about effort, progress and the journey each individual takes.

 

From adult and young learners to clients, volunteers and partners, we came together to celebrate the many ways people grow, support one another and shape our shared community.

 

Well done to all and thank you to our friends at The Royal Parks for providing the perfect green gifts!

 

To close this edition, we’re delighted to return to the theme of recognition with more award news to report.

 

At the recent Young K&C Awards, Nova scooped Best Work Supporting Training and Education for the second year running. We were also proud to receive a special mention for Best Work Empowering Youth Voice.

 

“These awards are a real testament to the hard work, care and commitment of the Family Programme team — and to the support and collaboration we receive from everyone across Nova. In a room full of inspiring nominees, it was clear just how much of a difference we’re making together.” 

– Matthew Barnett, Head of Children, Young People and Families

 

Huge congratulations to the team and thank you to all who continue to make this work possible.
