UK's biggest LGBTQ+ fertility event coming to Newcastle
A huge fertility event looking to support the LGBTQ+ community is heading to Newcastle.
London Women's Clinic (LWC), the UK's leading fertility centre for the LGBTQ+ community, are heading to Tyneside this weekend.
On Saturday, March 14 LWC is bringing its Familymakers Show to the Live Theatre near the Quayside for the very first time.
The event is the only event of its kind to come to the North East and is free to attend.
LWC is opening a new clinic in Newcastle this spring, making this event the first public signal of the clinic's arrival in the city. LWC's existing North East base is in Darlington, where more than 3,000 babies have been born following IVF treatment since the clinic opened in 2004.
The event will also feature a series of guest speakers including Jarrow and Gateshead East MP Kate Osborne.
Other speakers include Linda Riley - LGBTQ+ activist, Diversity Champion, and founder of Lesbian Visibility Week - alongside leading fertility clinicians from LWC, London Sperm Bank, and London Egg Bank.
A full programme of seminars will run from 12 noon until 5pm, with a networking hour to close.
