We provide a support network to you as parents or parents-to-be to help you through pregnancy, early parenthood and to help you get the most out of your new roles. For some people, that support may be attending our very popular ante-natal classes, or contacting a breastfeeding counsellor. For others it may be meeting new parents at coffee mornings throughout the branch area, finding out about child-friendly cafes in York or going on a social night out. The York branch provides all these things.

Our branch is run by volunteers and extends across York and surrounding areas including Tadcaster, Market Weighton, Ryedale and Scarborough (LS24, YO1, YO10-14, YO17, YO19, YO23-24, YO26, YO30-32, YO41-43 and YO60).
