Fertility Network UK Managed Closure Information

Fertility Network UK: Managed Closure Information Statement published: 21st May 2026

Fertility Network UK has taken the difficult decision to move into managed closure. This means the charity is winding down its operations in an orderly and responsible way. Our direct support services will cease from 21^st May 2026. Existing support groups will be contacted directly with further information where relevant.

We know this news will be difficult for many people who have used, supported or worked with the charity. Fertility Network UK has been proud to support people affected by fertility issues, and we are grateful to our staff, volunteers, beneficiaries, funders and partners for their dedication.

The Board of Trustees is committed to ensuring the closure is handled with care. Where possible, we are exploring whether specific projects may transfer to suitable successor organisations. This includes:

Wales Fertility Support Network
Northern Ireland Fertility Support Service
Fertility in the Workplace

Any transfer would depend on appropriate approvals, due diligence and staff consultation.

Fertility Network UK is no longer able to accept new requests for direct support after 21^st May 2026.

Support and Information Organisations

The organisations below are provided for signposting purposes only. Fertility Network UK is not responsible for the services, advice or content provided by external organisations.

Fertility Action

Fertility Action is a leading national fertility charity creating a gentle and welcoming community, where no one has to face fertility challenges alone. They provide compassionate support, trusted information, passionate, evidence-based education and some of the most regular fertility support groups in the UK, connecting people with others who truly understand. From trying to conceive and IVF to secondary infertility, life after treatment and beyond, our growing community offers a safe, inclusive space to feel heard, supported and understood.

Alongside our direct support, we are driving change at the highest level. Building on the legacy of FNUK, Fertility Action leads the Fertility Access Campaign in Parliament and played a key role in establishing the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Fertility, campaigning for an end to the IVF postcode lottery and fairer, more equal and equitable access to fertility care for all men, women and people who are navigating a challenging path to parenthood.
