•  Receive a quarterly NCT magazine – Our nationally-recognised membership magazine is packed full of informative articles on everything from pregnancy through to early parenthood. You'll also receive 8 annual e-newsletters stock full of the latest parenting information and research. 
• Exclusive discounts from NCT shop  www.nctshop.co.uk   and also our new Eco Range  www.ecoutlet.co.uk to help you budget for baby. All profits are used to fund NCT’s work with parents.
• Free access to NCT's House Swap Register http://ncthouseswap.ning.com - Holidays are expensive, and finding suitable baby-friendly accommodation can be a hit or miss experience.  NCT’s Houseswap Register has been running for over 20 years and enables you to swap your home with other registered members.   You can enjoy a low cost holiday safe in the knowledge that it will be kitted out to meet the needs of your little ones
• Becoming a member is a way of saying YES to supporting parents – NCT represents the needs and priorities of parents across the UK, at both Government and local policy levels, to ensure continued improvements in parent services.  Your membership also helps NCT to continue to deliver services such as our busy helplines and to support disadvantaged parents through a range of practical outreach projects.
