Nova is an award-winning charity with a wide reach and a fresh, people-first approach to creating social change. Since we began in 1983, we’ve been listening to North Kensington’s most vulnerable communities, helping people overcome life’s challenges with creative, long-lasting support. We work the Nova way: with warmth, respect and care, guided by the belief that everyone, no matter their background, should have equal access to opportunities for learning, personal growth and a better quality of life.

Whether it’s through our grassroots programmes – offering education, advice and guidance and family support – or through our social change work that creates connections across boundaries and builds agency and voice to challenge inequality, we’re here to open up opportunities and help people realise their potential.

In doing so, we strengthen communities and help shape a more cohesive, fairer society.

This vision is already coming to life. Nova is a small example of what that better world can be. Our team – from leadership and staff to volunteers and participants – is inclusive, dynamic and open-minded, reflecting the communities we work with and our shared commitment to a brighter future, together.
