We couldn't achieve anything without our team of wonderful volunteers. They spend anything upwards of an hour a month on all sorts of activities - all really vaulable to enable us to run sessions that local parents speak very highly of. One of our roles could even add that extra bit of sparkle to your CV.
Team-Members Needed!
Despite our wonderful team, we always need additional helpers: whether you'd like to bake a cake for one of our groups, be part of our Cloth Nappy Library, help at an event such as our monthly First Aid Sessions or weekly Bumps & Babies group, organise a fundraising event, or become a committee member, there's something here for you.
Please reach out to us through eastleigh@nct.org.uk or directly to any of the team below to find out more.
