FREE Focus Groups for Childless Women

Discover how to create a beautiful life of acceptance, purpose and joy, even without kids.

Circumstantial childlessness is complex, nuanced, and often unresolved, shaped by timing and circumstances that never quite aligned rather than by a clear decision.

My experience of miscarriage changed the course of my life.

“You should get pregnant - it'll help your endometriosis.” For many people living with endometriosis, this advice is anything but helpful - and yet it is commonly heard from friends, family, strangers and, more shockingly, medical staff.

This is a webinar in which childless health professionals discuss issues that may impact those who are affected by chronic illness or disability.

Living with childlessness is complex but does not have to complicated.

This won’t just be about my story—it’s about the lessons I’ve learned, how I’ve healed, and how I’ve rewritten a life that I genuinely love.

What are the 10 things you'd want the world to know about being someone whose Life is Shaped by Unrealised Parenthood

A somatic workshop exclusively for women who are childless not by choice.

Many involuntarily childless women take on caregiving/caring responsibilities within their families of origin, yet their experiences are often overlooked.

Worth is intrinsic. We are all born with worth; however, that worth is rarely reflected in how we are treated.

Mother’s and Father’s Day is layered and difficult for the childless not by choice community.

Childlessness can have a profound impact on people, including their working lives, yet the experiences of those without children are often overlooked, misunderstood or minimised, both in the workplace and in general conversations about grief.

Childlessness is still too often overlooked in workplace conversations about inclusion, wellbeing and belonging.

A group of lived experience therapists will share insights and reflections about the tensions felt by childless people at work when it comes to the value of their time.

Every life tells a story. But who gets to decide how yours is carried forward?

The webinar will be in the form of a conversation with one or two other panellists who have experience of writing their own stories.

When the realisation that we’ll never be a parent hits we often find ourselves hiding away from society because no one else appears to be childless.

When infertility takes the future you imagined, it doesn’t just take children. It takes your identity, your timeline, and the story you thought you were living.

When we were born, we were each childless and worthy; our childlessness cannot take that away, although during the hard yards of making our peace with childlessness, it can feel out of reach.

After an unsuccessful IVF journey, Jo and Ben's dream of having children came to an abrupt and heartbreaking end.

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

Many of us assumed meaning would come with parenthood - that raising kids would be the thing that made life feel full, purposeful, worth all the effort.

What has “moving forward” looked like for us?

When we realise our dream to be a parent will not come true our hearts fill with grief and our head can fill with nothing but sadness.

Are you ready to heal your heart and reignite your life after infertility or circumstantial childlessness?

When I was growing up, I had an Aunt and Uncle who were more reserved than my mother’s other brothers, and more glamorous too. They travelled a lot both for my Uncle’s engineering work in the RAF (Royal Air Force), and for leisure. The gifts they brought back, or gave me for birthdays and Christmases, were thoughtful, and quite unlike anything others grown-ups gave me.

Crossing Oceans

The 22 June marked Windrush Day. My parents crossed an ocean in their twenties, travelling at different times on the ship Irpinia in the 1960s. They were two people who packed up whatever they could carry and arrived in England believing, because they had to believe it, that something better was waiting on the other side.

Summer is usually seen as a time for freedom and connection. Most people think of barbecues, beach trips, and parents posting photos of their kids in the sun. But for single women who wanted to be mothers and aren't, the start of summer can be a difficult time. Grief doesn't go away just because the weather gets better.

The World Childless Week forget me not symbolises: our individuality alongside our strength and unity as a community, our determination to be seen and heard despite pronatalism trying to drown out our voice, and the love we hold for our unborn children who rest upon our hearts and will never be forgotten.

A living being goes through lifecycles that are easily recognisable and that we may have studied at school. Think of a frog for example – eggs are laid and a tadpole emerges, grows legs and arms to become a froglet, grows bigger and bigger to become an adult and eventually lays its own eggs and the cycle begins again.

World Childless Week is a powerful reminder that our stories and voices matter and one theme that continues to surface in conversations about childlessness is legacy. It is a fear many childless women share – “I will not leave a legacy”.
