About Us
Nottinghamshire Care Association
Nottingham & Nottinghamshire Care Association (NCA) is a not-for-profit organisation that represents a wide range of independent care providers throughout Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City. Our members are all in the independent care sector and include companies, individuals, charities, voluntary sector organisations and housing associations.
Our services are mostly delivered by the dedicated team at the Association office with support from our voluntary board members.
A raft of far-ranging services enables members to spend more hours doing what they do best – care – while we carry out essential, time-consuming tasks necessary for CQC compliance and business.
