"I love being part of our local NCT community. When we first moved here, I knew no-one. It was the local NCT community who welcomed me. I decided it was time to give back and it continues to pay off for me. I met brilliant parents, made life-long friends and had loads of laughs and cake along the way”

– Heather, parent and volunteer, Glasgow.
