Nova Trust is a leading New Zealand charity and social enterprise, established in 1981 to provide support for those affected by alcohol, drugs and other life challenges. The Trust is based on the outskirts of Christchurch and manages two social enterprises, Nova Fresh and Nova Natives alongside its support services.

Nova Fresh is a well-established and thriving horticultural and farming social enterprise, producing fresh grown produce for the commercial markets (currently cucumbers, capsicums and chillies are grown under cover, plus open ground beetroot). Nova Fresh also provides Nova Trust service users the opportunity of developing employment and life skills as part of their treatment and reintegration back into the community.

Nova Natives is a newly established nursery enterprise producing an array of native plants, trees and grasses to support the re-establishment and re-development of our natural landscape. Working with commercial customers, communities and partners, Nova Natives is supporting the re-planting of Aotearoa New Zealand.
