http://novatonthat.com brings together local people with useful skills, and local people wanting those skills - from piano lessons to gardening, from ironing to plumbing, from cleaning to dressmaking - all skills are available, and all are in demand in your area!

Everyone benefits (apart from the VAT man!), as no service provider big enough to register for VAT will be allowed to advertise on the site. (The current VAT threshold is £60,999pa or £15,249 in any one quarter)

By using local skills, there are all kinds of benefits:

- Reducing the carbon footprint by cutting down on travel
- Getting those with 'time on their hands' active, and utilising their skills.
- Keeping costs down by lowering travel time and cost
- Building a sense of community - it's all about local people helping local people

How it works

- Members offering help can work from home, or are able to select how far from home they are prepared travel, from a minimum of half a mile.

- People looking for help can work from home, or are able to select how far from home they are prepared to travel, from a minimum of half a mile. They then key in their postcode, and this is automatically matched to the post codes of those members offering help in their area. The help available is listed along with details of skills, etc.

- All Registered members can place as many ads as they wish for either help offered, help wanted, or both.

You are guaranteed to save 17.5% VAT, and, because our members are local, and don't have large company overheads, you won't be paying for travelling time and their hourly rate will often be lower as well!
