Meet the Team
Nova Children's Project has a highly skilled team who together have extensive experience of supporting children and young people with learning disabilities.
It was founded by three Directors, two of whom are responsible for overseeing and managing the organisation. They are supported by a passionate and dedicated team of staff and volunteers.
