Newsletter Volunteer at NCT

What does the opportunity involve doing?

Are you passionate about connecting with your community and sharing valuable information with parents? We're looking for a creative and organised Newsletter Volunteer to produce our local newsletter for members, parents, and other relevant individuals. This is a fantastic opportunity to gather compelling stories, edit engaging content, and design an informative publication that truly makes a difference.
Our newsletters are a key way we keep members informed about NCT activities, promote events, and even raise valuable funds through advertising. They're typically designed using an NCT template and emailed, though some teams choose to print copies for local distribution to healthcare professionals and community hubs.
The size and format of our newsletters vary, from a single sheet to a multi-page color magazine. The essential goal is to create an interesting mix of local and charity-wide stories, information, and relevant advertising for our readership.
Members and subscribers especially enjoy reading real-life personal stories from other parents. This shared experience helps to inform, support, and reassure new parents that they're not alone in their journey, fostering a sense of community and belonging. The newsletter also boosts NCT's local profile, providing updates on new services and national and local initiatives, reminding members they're part of a dynamic organisation making a positive impact across the UK.
Newsletters are most commonly produced quarterly
