About
Founded in 1987, N.E.S.S.T have been providing event support services to both the voluntary sector and in more recent years to the wider community
Although based in Nottinghamshire we are able to provide event assistance and equipment hire across the Midlands and beyond.
Drawing our team of volunteers from adult members of the Scout and Guide Associations we have a large pool of resources and a wealth of knowledge to help make your event a success. Even if your event is well established it is possible we may be able to help you with further advice and assistance. We have worked with many organisers on many events since our inception, which has given us an excellent overview of best working practices along with knowledge of just where the pitfalls lie!
Although Communications are our speciality we can offer advice and support to your event in all of the following areas :
- Event Planning – from start to finish
- IT Requirements
- First Aid Cover
- Site Services (portable accommodation, electrical requirements, refuse and sanitation needs).
For events that have yet to become well established we would encourage you to consult with us at an early stage – to ensure we can help your event be as cost effective as possible.
Here is a picture of the some of the team & additional helpers taken at a recent event where the Chief Scout, Bear Grylls, came for a couple of hours. More pictures can be seen here
