Fertility Network UK provides free and impartial support, advice, information and understanding for anyone affected by fertility issues.
We are the nation’s leading patient-focused fertility charity and are here on a practical and emotional level whatever your experience of fertility issues to offer support services, information and access to a community of people affected by fertility problems.
We can help: if you are considering your future fertility; if you are trying to become parents; if you are facing the challenges of childlessness; if you are successful after fertility problems and if you need help to access NHS-funded fertility treatment.
We are a small charity working hard to help the 3.5 million people affected by the devastation and pain fertility issues wreak. We do not receive any guaranteed funding and rely on grants and the generosity of our supporters. Donate today to help support the work we do.
We are the patient voice in the campaign for equitable access to NHS fertility treatment in the UK – based on medical need and not postcode. We ensure that the issues which matter to patients are heard by politicians, policy-makers and health commissioners.
Our education project raises awareness of the importance of fertility education in protecting and maintaining future fertility and highlights some practical steps young people can take to help protect their future fertility.
We work with the media to raise public awareness of all aspects of fertility issues, to highlight the need for equitable access to NHS fertility services and to promote the need for fertility education in order to protect and maintain future fertility.
