Membership 
Becoming a member of the NCT is a great way to meet other parents and make new friends. Our bumps and babes groups are ideal for getting to know others and exchange ideas, and our open houses welcome all mobile 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.
All members receive the NCT's magazine New
Generation as well as our local newsletter and when you join we'll
invite you to one of our local New Members' evenings where you can find
out more about what we do locally and meet some of the other members.
