Welcome to the website of the Welwyn Garden City and District National Childbirth Trust.

What is the NCT and what can they offer me?

Are you a new parent or about to become a new parent?

The Welwyn Garden City and District branch of the NCT is committed to supporting local parents. In keeping with the national charity, the branch aims to offer information and support in pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood.

Over the years a committee, made up of local volunteer parents, has worked together to provide a range of services and activities. To find out what we can offer you as new parents, and pregnant women and partners, please view our information pages and read on......

Volunteer Register Vacancies

Are you looking for something to stimulate the mind while baby is napping, or to add to your CV before you return to work? If you have a few hours a week to spare and you'd like to give something back to the NCT, we'd love to hear from you.

Committee posts require different types of people with different skills and there really is something for everyone, no matter how much or little time you think you may have to offer. Support is always given by the committee as a whole and not only do you get a sense of pride and achievement for your efforts, you are likely to make new friends and have some useful experience to add to your CV too.

All new members are very welcome, please come along and join us at any committee meeting.

Please see the Volunteer Register for detailed information on committee and volunteer positions available: Volunteer Register

Homebirth Support Group

Before booking a home birth, or if you are not sure whether a home birth is for you, you might find it helpful to talk to other parents who have had homebirths in this area.

This is an informal friendly support group that meets monthly and can provide information books and real life experiences to help you decide if a home birth is for you.

Talking to other people that have given birth at home can be a great confidence boost - it helps to know that there are lots of other women just like you who have done it.

For details of meetings please email our Homebirth Support Coordinator, or call our Branch Enquiry Line on 0844 243 6316.

Scheduled Meetings for 2009 are:

  • Thurs 25th June (Welwyn Garden City)
