Joining NAVCA

By joining NAVCA, you'll become part of a network of local third sector infrastructure organisations supporting more than 164,000 local third sector groups. You'll have access to the experience, ideas and support of this network through our events, publications, email networks, training and information.

Through NAVCA's extensive programme of national policy work, you'll be able to influence government initiatives and translate them into real benefits for your local community. By joining the national network, your voice will be stronger and better able to make a real difference.

NAVCA is the only national umbrella organisation specifically for local third sector infrastructure bodies, so we focus on the issues that matter to you and are able to respond as your needs change. Whether you're a small, new organisation taking the first steps towards sustainability or a well-established body at the forefront of strategy and policy in your area, NAVCA can support you.


There are three ways to join NAVCA:

Member

- for local infrastructure organisations (LIOs) which meet the conditions and criteria for membership.

Affiliate

- for third sector organisations which are not local infrastructure organisations or similar bodies, and which are not appropriately members of a CVS or other LIO, but which are interested in being kept informed about, and being in touch with, NAVCA and the LIO network.

Friend

- for individuals and corporate companies who want to demonstrate their support for the principles of the local third sector.
