Activities
The Trust's activities include parentcraft classes (ante-natal and in some areas post-natal), breastfeeding advice and organising nearly new sales. Local branches pursue a wide variety of projects on a volunteer basis, from publishing newsletters with local content for parents, to running major fundraising events such as sponsored toddles and charity balls. A quarterly magazine, NewGen, published by Axon Publishing, communicates its activities to all members.

“Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.”
