About us

Who we are

The Fertility Foundation is the national fertility charity providing support and IVF funding to low-income couples and individuals in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

We are a run self-funded fertility charity that doesn’t received any regular public funds.

We understand the assistance needed on an individual’s fertility journey is as unique as they are. We setup The Fertility Foundation based on our overwhelming desire to help as many people as we can to start their family.

With the NHS funding cuts showing no signs of stopping we are creating a fund to provide financial assistant to individuals and couples who are struggling to afford treatment.

Applications for a one-time financial fertility grant will be considered by our trustees and medical team.

The Fertility Foundation is a registered charity in the UK (charity number: 117416) setup in 2017 who’s aim is to help people struggling with infertility gain access to IVF treatment in the form of financial grants. These grants are wholly funded by public donations and the money raised through our charity shops.

We currently have two charity shops in Hertfordshire; In 2020 we opened our first charity shop in Hoddesdon which has been a huge success and we have recently opened our second shop in Waltham Cross, which at over 3000 sq. ft which sells clothing, bric-a-brac and furniture. This shop also acts as our online fulfilment centre for eBay, Vinted and Depop shops.

In 2020 we opened the first charity shop on the UK high street.
