Local Branches are a very important part of NAGC. Currently we have branches throughout England.  In addition, we have a number of informal groups who prefer to meet on an ad hoc basis in their local area for outings or coffee.

Branches provide:

• Local information and emotional support to families
• Fun and stimulating activities for gifted children and their siblings through the Explorers Clubs
• Activities, talks and support for parents
• Information for teachers and other professionals

ALL families are very welcome to visit the Explorers Clubs:

• NAGC members can visit any Explorers Club - even if you are affiliated to one Branch, you can still enjoy activities at other Branches
• Non members are very welcome to visit their local Branch to see if their family enjoys it before becoming members of NAGC
• Check out the location of your closest NAGC Branch and contact Head Office on 0845 450 0295 for the local volunteer's contact details
