NOPA

NOPA a registered Charity that provides creative therapy, Art, Play & Drama in schools in Lambeth

NOPA (Number One Performing Arts) is a community organisation based in Lambeth. Originally formed in 1991 NOPA aimed to provide the marginalised communities in Lambeth ways to express their stories and culture through the arts. NOPA soon found that the external and internal issues people were facing were preventing them from performing to their potential such as mental health, low self-esteem, trauma, housing issues, impact of crime (working with both ex-offenders, victims and families of both), substance misuse, poverty. In its 30 years of existence, NOPA has worked with hundreds of people of all ages in the most marginalised communities. Through holiday schemes, events, performing arts, therapeutic services, school-based work and partnerships, they have provided a platform for people to explore their stories and feelings, develop coping strategies and find solutions, and to improve their relationships with themselves and others.

Not only do Sats results appear to have gone up, attendance and attention have improved and there has been less disruption in class, the school says.
