Contact Fertility in the Workplace

Sarah joined the charity, Fertility Network UK, earlier this year. She has become part of the Fertility in the Workplace initiative following her own lived experience of infertility at work. Sarah was a full-time accountant and found it difficult to balance working life along with her gruelling journey of IVF. Sarah ended up leaving her job whilst going through treatment, which was a huge decision given the large IVF bills her and her partner were having to pay. Sarah is very passionate about her role, and often shares her own experiences to help support others and to highlight the importance of supporting colleagues going through fertility struggles. After years of invasive investigations, operations, and 4 rounds of IVF, Sarah and her partner are fortunate to have a daughter. She is now looking forward to seeing how the charity can have further impact on fertility in the workplace and help the millions of men and women who are forced down this path. Sarah also volunteers for Age UK and a local charity that hosts community lunches on Christmas Day and other key events, such as the Coronation, to support those who would normally spend key events alone.
