The Big Push is NCT's sponsored buggy push with the aim to combat loneliness and post natal depression in new parents. Don't worry, you don't need to bring a pushchair - toddlers, babies in slings, friends and family take part, raising money to help mums and dads who are feeling lonely.

Often new mums can suffer from postnatal depression, however we know that your risk of suffering is reduced when you receive the right support in the early days of life with your new baby. We want to help all new mums in your community to find someone to talk to.    

Instead of our Sunday Park Walk on 10th April, we will be holding THE BIG PUSH to raise money and awareness of post-natal depression and to help combat the loneliness and isolation felt by many new parents.

Participants are asked to contribute £5 for 13 year-olds and over or £8 per family (2 adults), and aim to raise at least £10 in sponship. The money raised will be used to support new parents who are struggling, giving them the opportunity to share their anxieties and frustrations through local support groups, like Bumps & Babies, and via the helplines and other services.

To enter, please donate the entrance contribution to this Just Giving page, stating your name. Please then email us at SuttonColdfield@nct.org.uk with "The Big Push" in the subject line to confirm your place.

The easiest way to raise sponsorship money is via Just Giving - you can either ask people to contribute to our page, or set up your own and join our "Team" (link at the bottom of this page).
