We believe that every woman and girl should be able to have children by choice, not chance. We are therefore hugely grateful to each person who has an interest in finding out more about our work and the ways in which they might support us.
We have been impacted hugely as an organisation by the re-introduction of the Mexico City Policy which has significantly affected our funding. This means that we may be unable in the short term to provide the level of services to women around the world that we have previously.
Therefore we will be more proactive here in the UK in promoting ways in which individuals, companies and charitable trusts can support our work and as such our public fundraising activities, which to date have been very limited, will increase. Therefore from time to time, we will communicate with our supporters to highlight particular campaigns where there is the opportunity to financially support our work, whether that's through a direct donation or fundraising.
To that end we will continually review our fundraising activities to ensure that we are meeting the expectations and trust that you and other kind supporters have placed in us. And we want you to feel informed and reassured that we carry out our fundraising in an entirely responsible and ethical manner. As such we are committed to the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Practice, alongside this, our promise to you.

Our commitment to you is that we will:
