From antenatal classes to baby bath time at Glastonbury 🎪 Sue’s NCT journey started back in 2002 when she was pregnant with her first child. Fast forward to today, and she’s now a mum of three, an NCT volunteer, and leads one of the most unique NCT spaces in the country: the NCT tent at Glastonbury Festival!   “My friend Jo and I both had two-year-olds and had never been to Glastonbury, but we always wondered what it would be like. So we thought, ‘Should we give it a go?’ And we decided we would.”   Every summer, Sue and a team of volunteers run two incredible tents: 🧸 A quiet, shaded space where families can chill, feed, or just let their babies stretch out. 🤱 A practical support hub with changing tables, baby food warmers, nappies, wipes, and even buggy repair tools!   And yes, they do baby bath time every evening - they’ve done over 900 in a single night before! 💦 This year, the youngest visitor to the NCT tent was just 18 days old, and the team did over 20 baths every day!   But for Sue, it’s the connections that matter most: “You can see a weight lifting off parents shoulders. It is care, compassion, and welfare. You know you are making a difference, and you can really make someone’s festival, that is just a really nice feeling.”   This year, Sue’s three children joined her at the tent, “It’s a bit of a family enterprise this year!” 💚   Thank you to Sue and her family, and all the volunteers who have kept the NCT tent going all these years - we can’t wait to see you next time!   If you want to become a volunteer, visit our website 🔗   #NCTCharity #Volunteering #Glastonbury #FestivalParents #ForEveryParent (fb)
