The North West London NCT Group is to covered by two distinct branches:

North-West London and Hampstead and Camden

The North West London Branch has seen its membership double in the past few years, At the November Annual Member's Meeting 2010, it was decided that the two smaller branches should be formed to cover the area.

The North West London branch will cover a smaller area, (NW2, NW4, NW9, NW10, NW11 and the Brent half of NW6), while the new 'Hampstead and Camden' branch will cover the other NW postcodes (NW1, NW3, NW5, NW8 and the Camden half of NW6). NW7 remains in the Barnet branch.The new branches will aim to offer a more localised face to the NCT. New volunteers are needed to fill all branch team roles and to ensure a good range of events and activites is on offer to local parents and NCT members. By the Autumn (2011) both branches should be fully functional and running independently of each other. By this time there should be a separate Hampstead and Camden NCT webpage. of course, all local parents can access events and activities from either branch. Until this both branches' courses are listed together. If you'd like to help be part of these exciting new branches, please see the Get Involved pages or contact chairnctnw@yahoo.co.uk.
