Children’s activities 

We know that it can be really helpful for children to meet others of a similar age who are also donor conceived, so we have a number of ways for them to get together.

Local meet-ups

We run over 50 local meet-ups for DCN members each year and many of them invite children and other members of the family to join too. In the summer months especially there are lots of local get-togethers in parks or nearby green spaces and these offer a lovely way for children to play together with other donor conceived children.

Creche at our conferences

We know that it can be difficult for parents to get childcare so that they can attend our conferences. We also know that children love to get together with other donor conceived children. So we offer a creche at our annual spring conference in London and, where possible, at our regional autumn conferences too. We do charge a fee for the creche but we subsidise it to make it as affordable as possible for our members.

What Makes Me, Me?

At our London conference each spring, we run a creative session for donor conceived children called What Makes Me, Me?

This is a half day activity, run by a qualified art therapist and is designed for 8-12yrs olds (roughly school years 5-8)

These sessions are open to DCN members’ children only as the groups are subsidised through membership subscription.
