Who we are
The NCT started in 1956. Since then, we have worked successfully to improve the experience of becoming a parent in the UK.
We are a membership charity with over 100,000 members across the UK. Our strength comes from the dedication of our volunteers, who work through our network of branches to provide and support local services, training and evidence-based information for parents, families and health professionals. We are trusted and respected by health professionals and governments as an organisation that represents the needs of parents.
Our work is funded through membership fees, fundraising activities and the delivery of our services.
