Who we are

We are an entirely voluntary organisation, run not for profit. Our only revenue comes from donations and membership fees.

*a little wish * group started out as a message board in 2002 with women and families sharing experiences of post pregnancy hysterectomy. Many people came forward and a support group developed. One of the consequences of a post pregnancy hysterectomy is loss of fertility and being unable able to carry our own children.

*a little wish * ‘Surrogacy’ grew from the need for a support group for surrogacy and a way to meet intended parents / surrogate mothers. (Our first two surrogacy babies arrived in 2007!). Many had tried alternative paths but unfortunately had encountered negative experiences. We have found that in general, people who have endured trauma have a better empathetic view of infertility and tend to be more compassionate, welcoming, open and supportive.

We have numerous ways of providing information and support;

• The website – general information, personal accounts and questionnaires
• The message board – a place to ask specific questions and to form friendships
• The message board private sections – to ask more personal questions and further support (*a little wish* members only)
• Telephone and e-mail support (*a little wish* members only)
• Active list – where surrogate mothers have access to the details of those they may wish to help (*a little wish* members only)
• Newsletter (*a little wish* members only)
