The NCT is the UK’s leading charity on pregnancy, birth and early parenthood – helping parents all the way from bump to baby.

The Selby branch offers Bumps & Babies Groups, nearly-new sales, antenatal classes and breastfeeding support to help expectant and new parents to get together to meet others in the same situation and to make friends. A spokeswoman for the group said team roles were varied, interesting and fun. Volunteers can use different skills and there’s something for everyone, even if people only have a small amount of time to offer and support is always given by the team.

As well as team roles, the branch is always happy to welcome volunteers who are able to help from time to time on certain occasions such as at NCT Nearly New Sales or to help organise upcoming social events. Paula Dunn, NCT branch team co-ordinator, said: “If you support the NCT and want to make a difference for local parents, why not think about volunteering for the NCT?

“You can get involved in as much or as little as you like, depending on the time you have available and it’s a great way to meet other parents in the Selby area.”
