Who are we?

A bit about us...

Our vision

Our vision is of a world in which no parent is isolated and all parents are supported to build a stronger society.

Our charitable purpose

•We offer information and support in pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.

•We campaign to improve maternity care and ensure better services and facilities for new parents.

•We aim to give every parent the chance to make informed choices.

•We want to make sure that everyone has access to our services and activities.

At the heart of the NCT is the First 1,000 days campaign: starting with pregnancy through to your child’s second birthday. The First 1,000 Days of being a parent are now accepted to be the most significant in a child’s development. Leading child health experts worldwide agree that care given during the First 1,000 Days has more influence on a child’s future than any other time in their life.
