the NEST

Nurturing Empathy & Self-esteem Together

—You’re already enough


Who we are & our values

Who makes up the NEST?

We are a group of educators and caregivers who feel strongly about supporting young people in a time in which many feel let down and disengaged with a world they feel doesn't care much for them.

Meet the Directors

Aoife and Joy have begun this venture as a culmination of a range of skills they developed: teaching in FE, running a conservation education charity, working in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in HE, one-to-one tutoring and being activity facilitators. They have a strong passion for social justice, fairness, kindness and respect for all and wish to apply what they have learnt to this education context.

Meet the Team

Aoife and Joy are assisted in the NEST by a range of vetted staff and volunteers. They have diverse backgrounds and each bring something unique to the table
