The National Childbirth Trust is a UK-wide charity that wants to help all parents have an experience of child birth and early parenthood that enriches their lives and gives them confidence in being a parent. We provide information and support to parents, with free leaflets, drop-in sessions and telephone helplines (further information is available at www.nct.org.uk).
Our Parenting Fund Regional Development Project will strengthen our capacity to provide support for expectant parents and those with a child up to the age of three in North West England. We aim to broaden access to NCT services for parents from diverse backgrounds and to work with other agencies to improve collaboration in supporting parents.
We will:
- train 32 new volunteer to run courses for parents, or provide breastfeeding support, in North West England
- set up a sustainable network of organisations that can work together to improve support for parents
- disseminate information and best practice to organisations providing parenting support in North West England.
