Welcome:

Hello and a huge welcome from your local team at the Lichfield and Tamworth Branch!

We are a small branch led by parent volunteers who aim to offer local parents and parents-to-be invaluable support, services and NCT events, to help them get the most out of their new roles. By contacting your local NCT Branch you will find out about:

• Support networks for parents - NCT Branches support you before, during and after your baby arrives; Whether or not you attend NCT antenatal or postnatal courses in your area, there'll be NCT volunteers who offer you opportunities to meet up and make friends and share experiences at coffee mornings, bumps and babies sessions and other support groups.
• NCT Nearly New Sales -the cost of kitting out your baby or toddler can run into thousands. NCT Nearly New Sales are the perfect solution - top-quality baby and children's clothes and equipment at bargain prices straight from their loving owners.
• NCT volunteering opportunities - have fun helping with NCT branch activities, use your skills to support local parents and meet new people from your community.
• Local NCT social and fundraising events - giving you the chance to meet other parents while supporting your local branch and the wider NCT

Branches are the local FACE of NCT - "Fun, Accessible, Caring and Encouraging" - They aim to reflect these values in their local community, so do join in!

Bumps and Babies - Lichfield and Tamworth

We are really pleased to say that Bumps and Babes sessions in Lichfield are continuing!

We meet between 1pm - 3pm at Saxon Hill Children's Centre, King's Hill Road, WS14 9DE

There is a small charge of £2 per family and we provide refreshments and a range of toys. Bumps and Babes is for expectant and new mums with babies/toddlers under 2.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Unfortunately there are still no plans to reinstate the sessions in Tamworth

These sessions are a great asset to the community allowing new and expectant Mums to meet like minded people and have a bit of fun with their babies while enjoying a cuppa and a biscuit, and some much needed adult conversation!

We need extra support in helping to run these sessions so if you feel you may be suitable please do get in touch soon.  

Nearly New Sales:

Our Nearly New Sales run reguarly throughout the year and are always very popular! Fantastic bargains are to be had on top quality baby equipment, toys and clothes etc.

Our next sale is planned for September 2012 and another for November 2012.  Further details of how to register as a seller and how you can come along and grab a argain will be released nearer to the date.

Baby / Child First Aid Training:

We now have a waiting list and will put on additional sessions if we receive enough interest. The session covered baby and child ressusitation and choking and we do have the option to do other sessions in basic household firstaid  breaks, bandages, burns etc.

Please email for further information.

Dad's Event:

We can't miss you Guys out!! In the Summer of 2011 we offered Dad's in the area the chance to spend some quality time with their little ones. We facilitated a 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' themed morning of fun and frolicks! Including sensory activites perfect for the little ones. The feedback we recieved was fantastic and as a result of this and the kind funding we recieved from the Round Table we will be running another event later this year. Dates and information to follow!
