LOCAL GROUP HELPS GLOUCESTER PARENTS FIND FRIENDSHIP NCT Gloucester branch is holding a regular ‘Bumps and Babies’ group for new and expectant mums and dads, whether it’s their first, second or fifth baby! The group runs every Tuesday, 10:30 am to 12:00 at Salvation Army Hall, Gloucester and all parents are welcome you do not have to be an NCT member to join our Bumps and Babies group. Set up by parent charity NCT, Bumps and Babies groups provide relaxed and informal get-togethers, in community venues with enough room for buggies, babies and a close circle of parents. It is a great place for parents and parents-to-be to make new friends, share tips and chat with those going through the same things. Tina Gibbs, NCT Gloucester Branch Coordinator said: “Having a baby is an amazing experience but it can also be quite isolating. Coming to this group gives you a reason to get out of the house and socialise with people in your local area who can understand what you’re going through. We’re open to everybody and are always looking for new mums and dads to join.” The branch offers a range of services and activities for local parents including Antenatal Classes in Gloucester, Quedgeley and Churchdown. For more information on NCT Gloucester branch’s Bumps and Babies group, contact Karen on GlosBumps@nct.org.uk or join us on facebook: https:// Please mention The Tuff ley-Link when responding to adverts www.facebook.com/groups/glosbumps/
