OCVA staff, trustees, members and partners came together at The Source on Thursday 26th November for our AGM. We began with a delicious lunch prepared by Iraqi Women Art and War, before moving into the formal business of the afternoon.
The OCVA team shared a review of our work across 2024/25 – always a valuable opportunity to pause and recognise everything we’ve achieved together. We were pleased to welcome our new Trustee, Gary Gibbs, and to re-elect Paula Coutts and Mat Mycock to the Board.
Spending time together, sharing food, and having the space to talk, reconnect and reflect reminded us all how important in-person moments can be.
A huge thank you to everyone who has collaborated with OCVA throughout 2024/25 – we couldn’t do what we do without you. As we close one chapter, we’re excited to build on these partnerships and look ahead to new work and relationships in 2026.
