We want to buy a large gazebo to provide a sheltered baby changing and feeding space for local families to use during local outdoor events.
About this cause
The National Childbirth Trust (NCT) is a national charity made of up small, volunteer run branches that exists to support local parents. parents-to-be and families, focusing on the first 1000 days of life as a parent. Within Rugby, as well as introducing them to a network of local parents to gain practical and emotional support, we also run both ante and postnatal groups that provide face-to-face practical and emotional support. We also provide accurate, impartial information so that they can decide what’s best for their family. Our vision is of a world in which no parent is isolated and all parents are supported to build a stronger society.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Outdoor community events eg family fun days, will have access to baby changing & feeding facilities run by NCT volunteers. Many events often have nowhere designated for this & no other organisation provides this service in Rugby. It will lead to mums who may be less confident to breastfeed in public, being able to confidently attend events & also help them to meet other parents to gain support.
