If you’re going through fertility difficulties, you’re not alone.

If you want to find out more about the causes of infertility, treatments and how to support your wellbeing, join the Wellbeing of Women for a free webinar:

💬Navigating the Fertility Journey
📅Wednesday 13 August 2025, 12:00 – 13:00
💻 Book your place here

Fertility issues affect around 1 in 6 people globally, and 1 in 7 heterosexual couples in the UK. Despite how common fertility issues are, navigating the ups and downs of a fertility journey can be isolating, challenging and full of uncertainty.

The webinar will look at why you may be struggling to have a baby, what your options are, and how to manage the impact of infertility and treatment.

In this webinar, Professor Dame Lesley Regan will speak to fertility expert Dr Nicola Tempest, and fertility advocate Becky Kearns, who will share her experience of infertility and fertility treatments.

The panellists will discuss topics such as:

Causes of fertility issues
Your options for treatment
How to manage the impact of treatment
Supporting your mental wellbeing

Have a question for one of our speakers? Email education@wellbeingofwomen.org.uk before the event and they’ll do their best to answer your questions during the session. You can also ask questions during the webinar.

Please note that while they’ll do their best to answer questions, the panel won't be able to give personal medical advice or address individual cases during the webinar.

Don’t miss this chance to sign up and get key expert insight into all things fertility.

The LACVS volunteering for Health programme would like to invite you to our first monthly Lancashire-12 Volunteer Managers Forum on Teams on Tuesday July 29th at 10am. This is FREE and open to all volunteer-including groups and organisations within the 12 non-unitary areas of Lancashire.

If you are interested in being part of the work currently happening to develop a Vision for Volunteering for Lancashire -12, enabling volunteer best practice and other Lancashire wide initiatives [which will affect all areas of Lancashire], then please join us to have your voice heard.

Our aim is to create an enabling environment and allow for the portability of volunteers across organisations within the place, with free and accessible training and tool kits developed specifically for Lancashire volunteers and managers. Pull together as a partnership to listen and be heard, develop new relationships and encourage a thriving volunteer sector in Lancashire.

We will also be aiming to test these newly developed models of volunteering within our communities to ensure they work for you. Our monthly forum is for all sizes of VCFSE and infrastructure organisations.

Our long-term aim is to support what is already flourishing and develop areas where the volunteer agenda needs support.

We do understand how busy you are and if you cannot make our monthly forum but wish to be kept up to date, then please continue to our booking system, fill out your details and click the corresponding field, and we will add you to our mailing list.

You can book on now at: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/FAUJ or via our QR code.
