Our team

The charity is run by a small team in our London office and led by our Board of Trustees. We have a large pool of volunteers, as well as paid workshop facilitators, all of whom are DCN members.

Our Staff

People are at the heart of what we do and that includes the team in the office. Many of us at DCN have had personal experience of donor conception meaning we understand the kinds of issues families face and how people going through fertility treatment feel. The office has staff who have had treatment both in the UK and abroad, using anonymous donors.

We have a small but dedicated team who mostly work part-time, both from our office near King’s Cross in London and remotely. The office is open and staffed most days Monday to Friday. We have a dedicated phone line you can ring to speak to a real person and if we can’t answer, do leave a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Areas of responsibility:

  • Nina – director

  • Frances – operations

  • Yael – membership, member events and research

  • Jo – workshops, conferences and bookshop

  • Cuan – social media and website

  • Frank – membership and renewals

Our Trustees

Our volunteers and facilitators

We have an amazing team of volunteers who provide a lot of our frontline services, welcoming new members, organising local meetups or facilitating our online chats. Our facilitators play a really important role, acting as host and helping manage the space, ensuring our events are well-run and keep a clear focus.
