NCVS location and office address
NCVS has moved to a new administrative office base at Dryden Enterprise Centre.
Our new registered office address (from 16 July 2024) is:
Dryden Enterprise Centre
Nottingham Trent University
Dryden Street
Nottingham
NG1 4FQ
Our email and phone contact details remain the same.
Please note, at this time we are unable to offer a drop-in service. Visits are by prior arrangement only. Many NCVS staff still work remotely.
Dryden Enterprise Centre is situated in the heart of Nottingham City Centre on the Nottingham Trent University (NTU) campus. NCVS works with NTU on a number of projects, so it is a natural progression to base ourselves in their wonderful building which integrates eco-friendly materials and technologies. It's not just a building; it's a thriving community of entrepreneurs and small businesses.
Dryden Enterprise Centre has great transport links (see below), is fully accessible and has space for us to hold in-person meetings and events in future.
We operate a hybrid model of working. A few NCVS staff are based primarily in the office, while most of the team continue to deliver our services remotely and in the community, so access the office space less frequently.
If you wish to arrange to meet a member of staff, you can continue to contact us on 0115 934 8400, by email to ncvs@nottinghamcvs.co.uk (or directly to named staff), or through our social media channels. We also issue regular e-bulletins with important updates for the voluntary and community sector. Sign up now.
The best time to make contact for general telephone enquiries is Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm. An answerphone is available for out of hours messages to be left. Or email us at any time.
Volunteer Centre services
Our Volunteer Centre services are operating online and remotely. We also offer occasional in-person Volunteer Local drop-in services, and we are considering how best to provide these sessions in future. Please see our Want to volunteer page for more details of how you can search online for volunteering opportunities, or contact an advisor.
