We are heartbroken and outraged by the attack at a synagogue in Manchester today. Our thoughts are with everyone who is impacted by this, and we stand in full solidarity with Jewish families and communities.
We utterly condemn this act of hatred, along with all forms of antisemitism, racism and discrimination.
As a charity that supports all pregnant women and new, parents, we know that many of you may be feeling unsettled, anxious, frightened or alone. Please know that we see you, we stand with you, and we are here to support you.
We are working at pace to support our people and the parents we serve. We will move events and classes online and make decisions at a local, community level to keep our services and support open, safe and supportive. Should any changes to our services affect you, we’ll be in touch directly.
We are For Every Parent. That means we are committed to creating safe, welcoming and inclusive spaces where all pregnant women and parents, regardless of faith, race, identity or background, feel supported, respected and heard.
NCT is firmly committed to being an anti-racist and inclusive organisation. This means listening, learning, and working with local communities, partners, volunteers and professionals to promote safety, connection and dignity, every day.
We will continue to provide trusted support and information, and to campaign for a future where every new parent can feel safe and every baby can thrive.
If you’re seeking support, connection or simply a safe space to talk, you can find welcoming, inclusive NCT events, classes and services near you through the ‘Events Finder’ on our website. Whether you're a pregnant woman, new parent, volunteer, practitioner or supporter. You are welcome here. No judgement. No exception.
