📢 Calling all parents! Get ready to step into National Walking Month this May with NCT! 🚶‍♀️👶🚶‍♂️

Did you know May is National Walking Month? It's the perfect time to get out and enjoy the fresh air, and what better way to do it than with an NCT Walk & Talk?

What is an NCT Walk & Talk? It's simple! It's a relaxed, informal gathering where parents, parents-to-be, and carers can meet up for a walk, chat, and connect. It's a fantastic way to:

Get some gentle exercise – perfect for new parents!

Meet other local parents and build your support network.

Share experiences and advice in a relaxed setting.

Boost your mood with fresh air and good company.

Show your little one the world from their buggy or sling!

Why host one? You don't need to be an NCT member or have participated in an NCT antenatal course! Simply choose a date, time, and a buggy-friendly route in your local area, and invite others to join you. It's a wonderful way to bring your community together and help combat loneliness that can sometimes affect new parents.

Ready to host or join? ✨ It's easy! visit our website to see if there's one happening near you, or even better, why not set one up yourself? We can help you promote it!

Let's make this National Walking Month a time for connection, fresh air, and supportive steps together.

When you want to get out and meet other expectant parents, we’re here to help 💚 Through our NCT Antenatal course, you’ll get to know local expectant parents who are at a similar stage in their pregnancy.

NCT helps to keep you connected both during and after pregnancy. Many of the parents who take a course remain friends long after having their babies.

Joanna Corfield, Head of Communications and Campaigns at NCT, responds to the 2024 Care Quality Commission’s Maternity Survey: “Falling trust, confidence and availability of timely support - this cycle of maternity failings must end now. We call on the government and NHS England to act now. Every parent deserves better."
