NCT Can Help Parents Save Hundreds On Their Baby Costs

16th April 2009

Do you have a baby on the way? Are you worried about the upcoming costs? Would you like to minimise the environmental impact at the same time?

Spring is one of the busiest times of the year for births and with many parents feeling the financial strain of the recession, NCT Nearly New Sales offer parents a great solution for all their baby essentials.

At NCT Nearly New Sales parents can save themselves hundreds of pounds on quality clothes, toys and accessories for babies and toddlers in ‘nearly new’ condition.

In fact, parents can buy all the baby items they need for as little as £160* including top name brands that have only been used for one child. With estimated costs for pregnancy and bringing up a baby reaching well over £1000, parents are looking at a bargain.

Baby essentials available at NCT Nearly New Sales may include*:-

Parents who are concerned about finances, especially in today’s climate, may find NCT sales are a great way to stretch their budget. Plus all profits from the Sales go towards helping the NCT charity.

What’s more, so far, the Nearly New Sales have prevented 300 tonnes of baby clothes and equipment ending up as landfill, offering a more economical and environmentally-friendly alternative to buying brand new.

For details of your nearest NCT Nearly New Sale, sponsored by Comfort Pure and Persil Non-Bio, visit www.nct.org.uk/nearlynewsales or call NCT Enquiries on 0300 330 0770.

Nearly New Sales are also an ideal way for parents to make some extra income by selling their unwanted baby products. Parents need to contact the organiser for details.

Timothy Todhunter, NCT Branch Fundraising Manager, says; “NCT Nearly New Sales can help to ease the financial strain on families and offer a more economical alternative to buying brand new – plus they give parents the chance to buy everyday items for a fraction of high street prices. So whether it’s cots, prams, toys or clothes, NCT Nearly New Sales should have everything you need.”

There are over 700 NCT Nearly New Sales held annually by 315 volunteer-led NCT branches, raising over £1,100,000 in 2006-7 for the NCT charitable work with parents.
