Our Big Push events made a successful return this month in London and Manchester. Find out how we’re combatting loneliness among new parents.
On 4 and 11 September, over 80 NCT parents and their families came together to walk, run and toddle the 5km Big Push routes in Manchester and London. Our Big Push events are sponsored by Puddle Ducks with Puddle the Duck making a popular appearance in London and Manchester!
Both events had a fantastic atmosphere and, most importantly, we raised over £6,000 for our work supporting parents experiencing perinatal mental health issues (PMH).
“I had a great time and met some lovely people. I was really glad to raise money and awareness about issues like postnatal depression, which affect so many new parents,” said one NCT mum, Szilvia Flaschner (pictured). “Also, my kids really enjoyed meeting Puddle the Duck!”
Many thanks to our NCT branches in Sutton Coldfield, Sussex and Aberconwy & Colwyn who organised great Big Push events in their area too. And good luck to Herts North and Newham NCT branches who will be running their own Big Push events on 25 September and 16 October.
