Breaking the Silence – Fertility Journeys in the South Asian Community

For this year’s South Asian Heritage Month join us for an evening of powerful storytelling, community connection, and honest conversations around fertility and reproductive health in the South Asian community.

This in-person event will bring together those with lived experience and professionals in the field to explore the emotional and cultural complexities of trying to conceive, baby loss, and navigating life without children.

Location – The Last Talisman, 171 Bermondsey Road, London, SE1
