Donor Conception Network

Who we are

The Donor Conception Network is a charity offering support to families (and prospective families) who are using a donor (egg or sperm) to conceive their children.

Our vision is a society where a climate of openness and understanding about donor conception enables people considering it to make informed decisions and helps build families who are confident, accepted and have a secure identity.

Our mission is to deliver high quality, non-judgemental and inclusive support and information to would-be and current parents and their children to enable them to navigate the often complex and individual journey of donor conception.

We are a pioneering parent-led and child-centred organisation and a trusted authority on the social and emotional aspects of building or expanding a family using donor conception. We are at the forefront of the donor conception movement, bringing our 30 years of experience and the voices of our members to inform professionals, practitioners and policy makers in the UK and worldwide.
