National Association of Supported Accommodation Partners (NASAP)

What National Association of Supported Accommodation Partners (NASAP) does

National Association of Supported Accommodation Partners (NASAP) is a UK not-for-profit membership association incorporated in England and Wales as a private company limited by guarantee without share capital. Founded in November 2023 and headquartered in Warrington, it operates as the representative body for providers of supported accommodation under The Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023, serving the sector that houses looked-after children aged 16 and 17. The association runs two annual membership tiers — Regional Partnership at £240.45 per person and National Partnership at £418.95 per person — and counts over a dozen named mid-market providers among its partner roster.

NASAP's product surface is built around community, learning, and convening rather than proprietary software. Core offerings include fortnightly Bitesize Learning Development Sessions, Peer to Peer Support sessions (regional and national), best-practice templates, discounted training via corporate partners, specialist seminars and workshops, regional networking events, and the annual National Supported Accommodation Conference (scheduled for September 24, 2026 at The Vox Conference Centre in Birmingham), which has attracted over 1,600 professionals across three years. The underlying technology infrastructure is light: a WordPress website at nasap.org.uk, a member login portal, and Eventbrite integration for conference ticketing, with no proprietary platform or mobile app.

Commercially, NASAP is a subscription-driven, community-led association with revenue primarily from annual membership fees plus conference ticketing and corporate sponsorship. Membership grew by over 270% in its first year and the organisation expanded its partner taxonomy to include Private Sector, Public Sector, Third Sector, Commissioning, Affiliated, Professional, and Corporate partner types. Distribution is direct and self-serve via the website, supplemented by event-driven GTM through the annual conference and strategic partnerships with sector organisations including Lief.care, Lighthouse Safeguarding, CYP First, Research in Practice, and Become's End The Care Cliff campaign. The organisation is volunteer-governed by a board drawn from providers and professional services firms and operates exclusively in England, with no disclosed funding, M&A, or headcount metrics.
