Novas Annual Report 2022

Annual Report 2022
Enhancing the physical environment of our services was central to our
trauma informed practice throughout the year. In Limerick, in response to the
rising number of families living in hotel accommodation, our family service
transformed a former office space into a laundry room for homeless families
without such facilities. This vital transformation was funded by Engine
Lease Finance Corporation and would not have been possible without their
financial donation.
Bella House Women’s Service in Dublin underwent an extensive redesign
and upgrade of its courtyard and communal spaces, which enhanced the
experience for the residents living there. This would not have been possible
without the generous support and funding by DFS, Carton Interior Design
and O'Carroll Cunsulting.
During the year we also secured funding from the Smurfit Kappa Foundation
to renovate the gardens of our Rathmines Women’s Centre, which took place
during 2023.
