I am delighted to have the privilege of leading the fabulous team at Fertility Network UK. I joined the charity as Chief Executive in November 2017, following a career that included a variety of roles in industry and the charity sector. It is a hugely exciting time to join the team, as we commemorate 40 years of IVF, and celebrate all the babies born through this life-changing technology. Research indicates 1 in 6 people in the UK face fertility challenges, and Fertility Network is the only UK-wide charity providing free and impartial advice to people, wherever they are on their fertility journey. Infertility can be a lonely and isolating journey, whether you are considering your future fertility, trying to become a parent or facing life without the child you hoped for. We will provide you with information and practical and emotional support
