Throughout the year Nova is involved is a range of events that are close to our heart, support women and children or the community we all live in.
In recent times we have been at the Newcastle Pride Festival, the Mental Health Wellness Walk, and the Reclaim the Night Events at both Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.
If you see us out and about, please feel free to come say hello, we're always up for a friendly chat, or to offer assistance if we can help you!
We also add most of our events to our Facebook page, so feel free to join us there to keep up to date on what we're doing.

Nova for Women and Children are coordinating their 2nd Annual Public Rally - this time at Lake Macquarie.
The rally is to protest against gender based violence as part of the global campaign 16 days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence. We invite you to help us make our voices heard.
Nova CEO Kelly Hansen, will be hosting the event, with special guest speakers to include:
Music on the Day will be provided by Blue Moon Music and the Hunter Women of Note.
There will also be a time for reflection of the women and children murdered this year.
We have recently seen another horrific period in this country with women being violently murdered, largely by men known to them. This is unacceptable.
We are dismayed at the lack of action taken by decision makers and want the government to know we won't be silent.
As orange is the official colour of the global campaign for 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, please come along wearing your favourite orange attire.
Please help us by sharing this event on Facebook.
In collaboration with the Newcastle Poverty Action Alliance, The Lock-Up will be hosting a Town Hall style community meeting focussed on Homelessness for the final weekend of OPEN HOUSE.

Event Information: The brave boxers that signed up to the Action Boxing and Fitness 10 week Fight Camp are now jumping into the ring to raise money for Nova for Women and Children.
This intensive 10 week program teaches people with little or no boxing experience the skills needed to jump into the boxing ring and accomplish something they never thought possible. On top of this, they are once again generously raising money for charity in the process. Action Boxing has previously raised over $20,000 for local charities and Nova for Women and Children are lucky enough to be second time recipients from this event on 30th March!
Please join us at this event to support Action Boxing and Fitness the boxers that are proudly supporting us!
Major Sponsor on the night is Automation Industries, and their Director Matt Clerke will be pulling on the boxing gloves too! Matt has been a long term supporter of our gym & our helping us raise money for local charities.
