NCT has thousands of volunteers doing wide and varied roles. NCT values its many volunteers and the difference they are making to parents within their local communities, our volunteers are there to help parents make new friends, share skills and swap tips.

Our family-friendly, flexible approach to volunteering means that you too could join one of our supportive teams. It’s a great way to meet a like-minded community, develop new skills and have some fun.

Why volunteer with NCT?

Volunteering can have a positive impact on your own mental and physical health. You’ll be helping to offer this to parents when they need it most. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Getting in touch

Volunteer Roles

Community Builder are at the heart of our local volunteer teams. You will engage with parents in the local community to understand where support is needed. You will build a team of community volunteers who offer welcoming, and inclusive events and activities that help parents feel confident, connected and safe. This is a flexible, home-based role that can fit around your availability. 

Balloon Fiesta Coordinator each year NCT Bristol hosts the Baby Feeding and Changing tent at the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta . The Balloon Fiesta coordinator role is to coordinate the other volunteers who help run a shift during the weekend. We can only run the tent each year if we find a new coordinator and with enough volunteers who help run a shift during the weekend. All equipment is supplied and stored in the storage unit, this role could be done as an individual or part of a small team.
