How Can We Help You Today?
Welcome to the National Gamete Donation Trust
Our site is a hub of a clear and practical information about donating and receiving eggs, sperm and embryos in the UK.
Whether you’re an actual or potential donor, intended parent, clinic, journalist, researcher, professional or interested friend or relative, our goal is to ensure you receive all the relevant information and support you need.
Welcome to our world. We’re delighted you’ve found us.
The National Gamete Donation Trust (NGDT) is the national body running the National Gamete Donation Services. We are a registered charity (Charity Number 116390). Our work has three different strands within the field of gamete (egg and sperm) and embryo donation:
- We support and empower gamete and embryo donors. We also work with potential recipients, UK licensed fertility clinics, the media and support organisations to raise awareness of the need for gamete and embryo donors.
- We manage the Donor Conceived Register to enable donors and people conceived through donated sperm or eggs before August 1991 to exchange information and, where desired, to contact each other
