The National Childbirth Trust (NCT) has announced an online community for parents
and parents-to-be, sponsored by Kodak Easyshare, that will generate income.
NCT’s
forthcoming online community will be called NCTParentsConnect, and is designed to
allow NCT members to

track down and connect with old friends they have met through the NCT. It will allow
members to create a secure online photo album of their children (whatever their 
age) quickly so they can share them special images with friends and relatives.

In many ways, the site sounds like a version of the popular friendsreunited.co.uk.

The community could be very large: six million parents have benefited from the services
of the NCT over the last 45 years.

The site will raise funds, although it is not clear how this will be done. Presumably
some of the services will be fee-based.
