World Childless Week 2026, 14 - 20 September
To keep up to date with everything happening across the year sign up for Steph’s Newsletter
World Childless Week was founded to give a voice to the childless community; it’s a place to find support, understanding and validation. The week comprises of real life stories: how we became childless, the words and situations that hurt, the grief we have faced, rediscovering our worth and celebrating new joys. It is a week to express ourselves in our own way, be that through the written word, art, creativity, song, dance or more. It is a week to say here I am, see me; and equally here is my story, but remain under the comfort of anonymity. World Childless Week is about sharing our stories with confidence.
You can advertise your services or products for FREE in the World Childless Week resources, or purchase a customizable package starting from £60.00 for a years advertising. Find out more HERE - World Childless Week is here to support you
