Membership Information

Becoming a member of the NCT is a great way to meet other parents and make new friends. Our "bumps and bundles" and "cruisers and crawlers" groups are ideal for getting to know others and exchange ideas, and our coffee groups welcome all children to join in the chaos.

Why should I join?

Because it makes a difference! When you show your support for the NCT by becoming a member you help to ensure that we can go on providing services to parents.

Antenatal Teachers, Breastfeeding Counsellors and Postnatal Leaders regularly update their skills through our training programs. Information for parents is provided through helplines, leaflets & books and the web. We campaign for changes to improve maternity services and those for new parents, and we do this at every level - from talking to governments to supporting a mother who wants to challenge her local surgery's policy on breastfeeding in the waiting room.
