Who are we & what do we do?

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.


The Association offers the crucial support Care providers require to deliver sustainable excellence within community, nursing, special needs and residential settings.

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.
