Penumbra’s groundbreaking Nova Projects seek to integrate people experiencing mental ill health more fully into their community by helping them to access mainstream activities and groups such as further education, sports, clubs and work, whether voluntary or employment. 

Support is provided on a one to one basis for a fixed period of time, looking at an individual’s hopes and aspirations in moving out of social isolation towards meaningful opportunities and relationships.

 

“With the support of the team I have joined a swimming group. Something I would never have done alone and I am working with my support worker to do this activity on my own in the future. It means so much to have support with things that would seem ‘normal’ to most people. To have the Nova team, who recognise my needs, is both encouraging and comforting.”
