babybumpPeople are being urged to become volunteers for the Lichfield and Tamworth Branch of the National Childbirth Trust (NCT).

The charity already have some local mums and dads who volunteer to co-ordinate activities for other parents but they are now on the lookout for more.

The group offers a Bumps & Babies group on Wednesdays from 1pm to 2pm at Lichfield Methodist Church and Nearly New Sales to help expectant and new parents to get together to meet others in the same situation and to make friends.

A spokesperson said:

“Team roles are varied, interesting and fun – you can use different skills and there’s something for everyone, even if you only have a small amount of time to offer. Support is always given by the team – you’ll get a sense of pride and achievement for your efforts, make new friends and have some useful experience to add to your CV too.

“As well as team roles, the branch is always happy to welcome volunteers who are able to help from time to time, for example on certain occasions at our popular NCT Nearly New Sales or on the helper rota for Bumps & Babies groups.”

Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Helen White on 0844 243 6189. Alternatively the group are inviting people to a meeting on November 19 at 7.30pm upstairs at Après in Lichfield.
