Get Involved

Volunteers, parents and expectant parents just like you, run our branch. You don’t need to take on huge tasks, just commit whatever time you can or your previous experience and skills. It is a great way to learn new skills, make new friends, and represent the NCT. Get in touch and get involved.

Here are a few of the vacant roles that we currently have;

We are looking for volunteers to join the Rugby NCT committee to organise our socials.  The current role encompasses both the Dunchurch Coffee and Bumps and Babes monthly coffee mornings and also the ongoing branch events.  However we are splitting this role so that the monthly coffee mornings and the branch socials are handled separately - maybe this will enable you to consider taking on one of these roles or working with a friend to job-share.

Will it take up much of your time?  Not necessarily, you can make as much of these roles as you'd like.  As they currently stand the monthly coffee mornings in their very nature require monthly attention whereas the branch socials are organised quarterly so generally need an hour or two of your time once a quarter.

What sort of commitment are we looking for?  All that we ask is that you attend committee meetings where possible (they take place monthly) and provide updates at times you can't attend so that the committee knows what is happening when and is able to offer support.  You don't need to attend the coffee mornings or the events if you aren't able to.

What's in it for me?  Well as we're all volunteers we can't offer to pay you!  However you can use this experience as an opportunity to learn a new skill or to exercise an existing one.  You will feel a sense of achievement and pride in helping new parents like we all once were. And you will enjoy feeling a part of a community as you make new friends through the committee (we're a very friendly bunch!).

Do you need experience?  No, you just need to be sociable.  Any training required will be given and a handover will take place.

Without volunteers, existing and new, the local NCT branch can't exist.  Without the local branch many new parents and parents to be will be left without the help, support and friendships that we all so often need.  If you feel that you are able to spare a small amount of time to volunteer please feel free to get in touch with Faye at nctrugbysocials@googlemail.com.  I will answer any questions you have and will be able to tell you more about the roles available.  You could even come along to one of the monthly committee meetings to see what goes on and to see for yourself how you might fit in...at the very least you'll make new friends!

If you are interested in any of the above roles or want to get involved but are not sure where you can help, please call us on 0844 243 6253 or email nctrugbychair@yahoo.co.uk
