Welcome to the website of the Cheltenham and North Cotswolds NCT branch.

We hope it includes the information you're after, how the NCT operates, the services we provide for parents to be and new parents in and around Cheltenham and how we couldn't do any of it without the team of volunteers that support us. And if you're interested in being part of this fabulous team, take a look at our volunteer vacancies or come along to one of our events or monthly meetings and discover how you could help...

Good news - Waddlers and Toddlers has relaunched on Wednesdays at Charlton Kings Baptist Church. This is a great venue, with lots of space for toddlers to run around, including an outdoor play area if the weather is nice - but there will also be a quieter area for mums with smaller babies or those with bumps to meet other new mums. Something for everyone! P.S If you can help keep this group running by joining the rota for setting up and tidying away at each session, please email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Help! Anyone out there good with the money side of things? Our current treasurer and vice treasurer are stepping down at our next annual review (November) and they are roles we have to fill in order to continue operating as a branch. A handover would be available from the current volunteer - email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it for more info.

First Aid Event
