What an incredible day we had at Santa’s Parade! 🎅✨ Thanks to our amazing partnerships with The Rotary Club, The Mercat Shopping Centre, and the support of so many wonderful organisations, the event was a true celebration of community spirit.
We were thrilled to see families and friends come together to enjoy the festive cheer, made even brighter by the brilliant tunes and good vibes from K107. A special thank you to Love Oor Lang Toun for bringing everyone together and making this magical day happen!
At Nourish, we believe in the power of community, and yesterday was a perfect example of what we can achieve when we work together. From the smiling faces of children meeting Santa to the shared joy of the season, it was a day to remember.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the event such a success. Here's to a wonderful festive season filled with love, joy, and togetherness!

🎅🌟 Santa Claus is coming 🎅🌟
After more than 13 years of dedicated service, our CEO Lynne Scott has announced her decision to step down as CEO of Nourish Support Centre.
As a founding member of Nourish Support Centre, Lynne played a pivotal role in creating our community-focused organisation that has become a lifeline for families navigating the challenges of raising children with disabilities.
Alongside four close friends, Lynne founded Nourish with a shared vision of ensuring families felt supported, less isolated, and part of a caring network. Under her leadership, the organisation has grown into a vital resource for countless families in the community.
“This decision has been one of the hardest of my life,” Lynne said. “Nourish has been more than just my work; it has been my passion and purpose for over a decade. I’m immensely proud of everything we’ve accomplished together. However, this past year has brought challenges that have taken a significant toll on my mental health and well-being. After much reflection, I feel stepping away is the best decision for me.
Lynne’s decision reflects her commitment to prioritising her well-being and personal needs at this time. Throughout her tenure, she has remained dedicated to Nourish’s mission and values, leading with professionalism and a focus on the organisation’s success.
“I want to thank the staff, volunteers, service users, and supporters who have stood by me and the organisation through thick and thin. Your dedication and support have been a source of strength, and I know Nourish will continue to thrive because of you,” Lynne added.
During her notice period, Lynne will work to ensure a smooth transition for the organisation, overseeing Christmas projects and preparing Nourish for the New Year.
Statement from the Board of Trustees
“The Board of Trustees is saddened to receive Lynne’s resignation. Lynne will be sorely missed due to the skills and experience she brought to the organisation. Without Lynne leading the way, Nourish would not be in the position of success that it currently is.
Lynne’s decision reflects her focus on prioritising her health after a particularly challenging year. We wish to acknowledge Lynne’s exceptional professionalism and unwavering dedication throughout her tenure, and she has our full support. We express our gratitude for Lynne’s leadership and our best wishes for her future.”
Nourish Support Centre remains committed to its mission of supporting families and fostering a sense of community.
We will continue its work with the same passion and determination that has been its hallmark since its founding.
Nourish Support Centre was founded over 13 years ago by five parents raising children with disabilities. Our organisation provides vital support services, community engagement, and advocacy to ensure families feel less isolated and more empowered.
