Our NCT Stars
We were really chuffed that Michelle Nicklette (who many of you know ran our NCTeenies group for 4 years and stepped down last year) and Jenny Sansom (outgoing Branch Coordinator) were recognised at our Regional NCT Star Awards.
In our eyes all our local branch volunteers are stars, however, to be nominated and appreciated at a higher regional level is the icing on top of the cake. As a volunteer, you are part of a friendly group of local parents but also part of something bigger with the support of the NCT HQ, its resources and training opportunities.
If you want to know more, these videos feature some of the NCT’s Regional volunteers and captures what drives us to put on events for local families like you.
Open House Coffee Mornings
We have hosted a number of Coffee Mornings at people’s homes or at The Village Centre (Englefield Green, shown in the photo), all of which have been really well supported. We are conscious that not everyone can make Bumps and Babes and NCTeenies and so we are hosting these meet-ups open to all local families to come along and enjoy a play-date in a relaxed environment.
Details of the meet-ups tend to be posted on Facebook so do follow us to keep up-to-date with spur of the moment gatherings.
If you are interested in hosting an event in your home or a neutral venue like The Village Centre, then please do let us know. We can promote it for you and help you meet and make new local friends. One mum who attended one of our recent gatherings said “When I commuted into London, I used my house like a hotel and I didn’t have any local friends. Having a new baby is a bit of a culture shock and making new friends locally who are going through the same thing, whilst a bit daunting, has been a life saver”.
Date for your diary:
Thursday 18th August –Pudding and Planning Meeting, 8pm
Everyone welcome! Just email [email protected] to let us know if you want to come along to meet the team, contribute ideas, help us plan our forthcoming programme of events, enjoy a night off duty, and meet new friends.
