Become an NCT Member

At NCT, we advocate for new and expectant parents.  

From championing maternity healthcare to addressing the cost-of-living crisis and fighting for parental rights, your support as a member makes a real difference. Find out more about the difference NCT Membership donations make to new and expectant parents by watching this short video or seeing our work in action on our Impact page. 

As a valued member of the NCT community, we’re delighted to say a big thank you for your support by:

• Regular email updates and e-news on NCT’s work and campaigns across the UK
• Early entry into NCT Nearly New Sales
• 15% discount on selected NCT postnatal courses, to share with your family & friends too
• An invitation to our Annual General Meeting
• The opportunity to vote in our trustee elections, or to stand as a trustee yourself

Thank you so much, every donation makes a difference to helping people as they become parents. Our donation page provides more information but please get in touch at fundraising@nct.org.uk if you have any questions.

Full terms and conditions of NCT Membership.

NCT is a membership charity and this means that NCT members can influence the direction and help shape the future of the charity by attending and voting in our AGM, voting in Trustee elections and being elected to the Board of Trustees.

Each year all NCT members (who have given us an up-to-date email address and permission) will be invited to attend the AGM and when there are Trustee vacancies they have the right to be nominated to stand for election and vote in NCT Trustee elections. NCT's AGM generally takes place in the latter quarter of the calendar year.

If you would like to find out more information about NCT’s Annual General Meeting, Trustee elections or other governance issues, please email members@nct.org.uk or call our Enquiries Team on 0300 330 0700 (Option 3).
