London Sperm Bank Matches Donations to Support Donor Conception Network Appeal

This year, LSB is supporting the Donor Conception Network’s April appeal by matching every donation, pound for pound, to a value of £3000. We hope to see this amount doubled through our matching, raising funds for the crucial work done by DCN for donor-conceived children and their parents.

We share a short statement from DCN below:

We’re thrilled that this year’s fundraising appeal for the Donor Conception Network has received a generous boost with a pledge from the London Sperm Bank to match-fund our £3,000 target, which means donations will go twice as far in helping us support prospective parents and donor conception families.

The appeal aims to raise funds to help expand our support services so that donor conception parents – including solo parents and same sex couples – are equipped with the skills and confidence to talk to their children about what the future might hold for them. Topics such as helping them to explore their ethnic heritage, how to support them if they wish to find out more information or make connections,  and how to manage expectations around the prospect of meeting the donor or half siblings are very much top of mind for today’s parents. The charity’s new services will help parents address these topics with confidence and a secure foundation as conversations unfold and, potentially, new information is discovered and shared.*If you would like to contribute to the appeal, donations are still welcome and you can do so at: https://www.totalgiving.co.uk/appeal/DCN_annual_appeal_2025.*
