Volunteers make a huge difference to the work of the charity, enabling us to reach out to many more individuals.
Peer Support Volunteer
Peer Support volunteers facilitate support groups meetings via Zoom. Alternatively or in addition they can host Walk and Talk events at the weekend. Groups provide a much needed opportunity to meet up virtually or face to face with others who understand the issues. Sharing experiences can help you feel less isolated, more supported and more able to cope with everything. You need to have first hand experience of a fertility journey and need to commit to a few hours each month to facilitating a group. Providing much needed support can be extremely rewarding.
Become a Community Volunteer
Community Volunteers help identify opportunities within their local community to raise awareness of Fertility Network UK and extend our reach. This could be identifying fundraising opportunities, distributing literature and posters at Fertility Clinics, hospitals or GP surgeries or representing us at a Fertility Clinic open evening or a local event.
Become a media volunteer
Personal stories are often the best way to highlight the impact which fertility problems have on the 3.5 million people who experience difficulties conceiving. Sharing your story can help bring better understanding of the physical, emotional and psychological impact of fertility problems and it is an invaluable way to help us raise awareness of fertility issues. Complete our Media Volunteer Form to be added to our database. You will only be contacted when you are matched to a request.
Become a student ambassador volunteer (Wales only)
Become a Student Ambassador Volunteer at your College or University on our behalf. Help raise awareness of how young people can protect their future fertility by the choices they make now. Knowledge can make all the difference.
