NCT North West London is a powerful network of parents who could be your customers.

The North West London branch covers a large area of London (all NW postocodes except NW7) ranging from Hampstead to Queen's Park, Golders Green to Primrose Hill, and membership is constantly growing.

As well as very popular antenatal classes we hold two NCT Nearly New Sales a year, publish a newsletter to members three times a year, run egroups by due date, hold postnatal coffee mornings in each of the postcodes covered, run Bumps and Babies groups for pregnant women and parents of young babies and other social events for parents and families.

Newsletter advertising

The newsletter is an A5 black and white booklet published three times a year. The next newsletter due out in February 2010 will go directly to almost 2000 parents and parents-to-be who are our branch members. Additional copies are printed for circulation at NCT drop-in groups, postnatal groups, antenatal classes, children's centres etc. for information for prospective members and the community. We also publish in May and September.
