National Fertility Awareness Week aims to raise awareness and change perceptions of fertility issues, as well as raising funds to help us provide much-needed support for the 1 in 6 couples, and others, in the UK who struggle with infertility. Fertility Network UK is the UK’s leading patient-focused fertility charity and we need you to help us continue to provide our free support services to anyone affected by fertility issues. We receive no guaranteed funding so please donate what you can; it will make a difference. Last year our free Support Line dealt with almost 4,100 enquiries. We want to do even more next year. Your donations will help us to:
- campaign for better access to NHS fertility treatment
- support and advise all those affected by fertility issues
- continue to run and extend our free Support Line service
- increase our regional network of staff to provide direct local support
- extend our online services and peer support groups
- recruit and train more volunteers to help you
- increase the support services for those facing the challenges of childlessness
- continue to raise awareness of the impact of infertility and the need for fertility education to help protect and maintain future fertility
National Fertility Awareness Week will take place on Monday 30 October- Sunday 5 November 2017 and this year, along with trying to raise much needed funds, we want to highlight several focus areas - #IVFis40, #TalkFertility #FertilityFellas #IVFGoldStandard. Go to our website
www.NFAW.org.uk and find out more about the aims of the week and how to get involved.
This awareness week is a great opportunity for everyone affected by fertility issues to show their support for Fertility Network UK. Share your stories, help raise awareness and please sign up to be one of our fabulous #100FertilityFaces.
