Clare and Tracey attended a meeting with HealthUnlocked yesterday to discuss the next steps in extending our online resources to everyone experiencing infertility.
Our HealthUnlocked resource will not replace our website or forums where additional changes are taking place soon, but will instead provide different ways of connecting with others in similar situations, finding and sharing information and keeping up to date with what's happening at Infertility Network UK, More To Life & ACeBabes.
If you'd like to be involved do get in touch with Tracey who will give you more information. You don't need to be a member of I N UK. We're here to help everyone and want anyone interested to have the opportunity to help to get it right for you!
Clare has been working on the PCT project this week, looking at next steps in the project. As you are possibly aware we've also been recruiting lately so Clare is shortlisting and preparing to interview candidates who we hope will be joining the team soon.
Susan has been working with the media, helping to find case studies for several journalists. If you have or are living with infertility and would be willing to help with our campaigning for increased awareness of infertility by sharing your story then do get in touch with Susan. You won't be contacted by anyone from the press directly, you will have the opportunity to say no and you decide what you can do and when.
Gwenda's week has a support focus - meeting with and speaking to support groups for conditions that can go alongside infertility, new regional groups are currently being set up so do keep an eye on the forums if you're in Scotland.
This week is Helene's last week with Infertility Network UK, she will be much missed by the team and her regional members. We all wish her happiness for the future.
Sheena has been busy working on revamping the fundraising information for all parts of the charity. It's great that we now are signed up with both JustGiving & BT MyDonate. If you'd like to fundraise or donate to Infertility Network UK, More To Life or ACeBabes you can do so under the banner of Infertility Network UK using either site to create your own fundraising page. We will also create a web page for you on the I N UK site/s of your choice and help to promote your event or initiative.
Diane who runs the Professional Advice Line (PAL) is on leave next Monday and Wednesday, but members can add their questions to the PAL forum and replies will be sent when she returns. We hope she has a super break.
Sharon, like the rest of the team, has been writing up her report for the next magazine, she has also been planning ACeBabes events and working on IVF funding. Sharon is away next week, we hope the sun shines for her.
Fiona has been working with support groups for I N UK and MTL, she's looking at ways to raise the profile of the MTL group, on the website and through our social networks.
We hope you all have a good Bank Holiday weekend
