continues to evolve, it will be around
for many more years to come.
Why do you think the NCT is
important?
The NCT is committed to supporting
parents through the first 1000 days of
their parenting journey, from
pregnancy to toddlerhood, whether
it’s through antenatal or postnatal
courses, social groups run by local
branches, help and support phone
lines or campaigning for improved
maternity care and better services
for parents. The lifelines that the NCT
provides, both on a national and
local level, really make a difference
to parenting journeys and outcomes.
As we celebrate 60 years of doing
so, I hope that, as the charity’s role
Would you recommend volunteering
with the NCT to others?
Absolutely. It’s a great charity to be
involved in, there is a role to suit
anyone, if you can commit to a few
hours a week, month or even a year
then there is a way for you to be
involved. Many of the charity’s
volunteers start with the Nearly New
Sales and soon get bitten by the bug
(it helps that the committee are so
welcoming) and involvement grows
from there. If you’d like to help the
branch, but you’re not sure how,
why not consider volunteering at our
next sale in the Spring? Drop me a
line - I’d love to hear from you
