Around 1 in 6 couples in the UK today have difficulty conceiving, affecting over 3.5 million people. The prospect of facing any kind of infertility can be very distressing to live with and many people believe that no-one else really understands what it feels like to have to face this. Infertility Network UK provides information and help those affected by infertility; through investigations, treatment and beyond.

As a result of an Awards for All grant the charity is staging its first Wales Fertility Information Day in Cardiff. This follows success events in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The cost of the day is £10 and tickets can be purchased via http://bit.ly/1tkwTEf
