We’re here to support your organisation to grow and develop!

Our organisational support is really varied, it ranges from sending you monthly newsletters so you can stay informed about opportunities to tailored support when you’re facing challenges.

There’s more information on our levels of support on the Why Become a Nova Member page.

If you’re a Nova member looking for support from us, this page is for you.

  1. First, take a look at our website! We might have a resource or upcoming training related to your enquiry. Don’t forget you can sign in to the Members Area to access lots of resources.
  2. Not found what you’re looking for? Don’t worry! We run a quarterly ‘Welcome to Nova’ introduction session if you’d rather get an overview of the different ways we can support you.
  3. Want to connect with others? You can find a full list of our VCSE Networks and Groups, where you could share information and get some peer support.
  4. If you’re looking for something specific or need tailored advice, you can book a 50 minute slot with one of our specialist advisors. It’s completely free and gives you some time to speak to someone in person. New dates coming soon.

If in doubt – get in touch! We’re here to help our all of our members, and our friendly team will get back to you within a couple of working days. You can:

Advice Session Dates

Our next Ask Nova sessions where you can get 50 minutes of specialist advice will be announced soon.
