We're proud to work with such a wide variety of voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations that do all kinds of brilliant work across the district! Nova membership is completely free and has lots of benefits, and we're always looking for new groups to support.

If you have any questions - are you already a member, would your organisation be eligible, what support can we offer - don't hesitate to get in touch at info@nova-wd.org.uk or by calling 01924 367418.

We've started running friendly member induction sessions each month so our new members can come together to learn about the support on offer and meet some of the Nova team. If you think your organisation would benefit from a refresher, do get in touch using the details above for details of upcoming sessions.

Let us introduce our new members who joined Nova in January...
