Nova New Opportunities is a grassroots community organisation supporting thousands of adults and young people living near Grenfell Tower in west London. The charity provides advice and advocacy on housing, job hunting, and related needs, alongside adult education and mentoring for children and young people. It says demand for its services has never been higher in Notting Dale, a highly deprived ward where social housing makes up 70% of homes. Nova reports it has taken steps to reduce costs while protecting frontline work, but it faces an existential moment. The charity needs to raise £100,000 within two months to keep services running and its doors open.
"A grassroots community organisation that supports thousands of people living in an area near Grenfell Tower, west London, is at risk of closure. Nova provides adults in Notting Dale with advice and advocacy on everything from housing to job hunting. It also provides adult education and mentoring for young people and children."
"The award-winning charity said it needs to raise 100,000 within two months to keep its services running and its doors open. LDRS Lizzie Cho, director of Nova New Opportunities, said demand for the charity's services had never been higher. Notting Dale is the second most deprived ward within Kensington and Chelsea."
"Social housing makes up 70% of the homes there. She said the team had taken every step to reduce costs whilst protecting frontline work, but said they faced an "existential moment". "Without urgent support, services that people rely on every day could be lost.""
