NCT meaning in Community ?

National Childbirth Trust (NCT) is the UK's largest parent charity. Since 1956 it has supported millions of parents through birth and early parenthood whilst also securing major advances in professional practice and public policy. The charity's mission is to support parents through the first 1000 days: from the beginning of pregnancy through to a child’s second birthday.

It is a movement of parents supporting parents, with 327 local branches and over 5,000 volunteers offering a wide range of activities. These include Bumps and Babies drop-in sessions, Nearly New Sales selling low-cost baby clothes and equipment, and Baby First Aid courses.

NCT’s practitioners provide practical and emotional support for expectant and new parents before and after their baby arrives. Its breastfeeding counsellors and peer supporters support mums with feeding entirely free of charge. Its online information centre and national support line provide information to over five million parents each year.
