NUH Life

NUH Life NUH Life is a sperm donation centre for the East Midlands. Set up in the 1970s, Nottingham was one of the first sperm banks in the country.

Over the years, many NHS sperm banks have had to close due to uncertainties surrounding laws on donation and the struggle to find willing donors – but Nottingham has effectively maintained a small but successful sperm donation bank ever since. We’ve recently relocated to a brand new, purpose-designed facility on the QMC campus, now known as NUH Life. We’re not a commercial sperm bank and we don’t

make any profit – any surplus income is fed straight back into NUH. We don’t just do sperm donation! We also do all initial male diagnostic testing for those trying to conceive, post-vasectomy follow-up, and we run the regional sperm storage facility for men undergoing sterilising cancer treatments. We’re a small team of professionals – which means anyone coming in will get to know us all pretty quickly. Our team is friendly, approachable and creates a welcoming environment for anyone visiting.

Happy Pride 🌈✨ At NUH Life, we’re here for every kind of family. Two dads. Two mums. Trans and non-binary parents. Solo parents going it alone.

Whoever you are, and whoever you're building a family with, you deserve that chance.

And for the s***m donors who make it possible? They're one in a million.

Happy Pride Month! LGBTQ+ couples and individuals are one of the main groups using donor s***m in the UK. At NUH Life, we work closely with same-sex parents, trans and non-binary people, and solo parents to help make families possible – with compassion and care 🏳️‍🌈 🩷

This June, we're thinking of every LGBTQ+ family who has taken the journey to parenthood, and every incredible donor who helped make it possible.

If you're an eligible man who'd like to play a part in someone's family story, we'd love to hear from you. Link in bio 🌈

When we say one in a million, unfortunately we truly mean it 👇

- There are over a million men who are the eligible age for s***m donation in the East Midlands.
- Last year, only 3 stepped forward.
- We need at least 3x that amount annually to meet demand.

We’re not going to sugarcoat it: we need men like you to be selfless and help create new life. If you're 18-45 and in good health, you could be the reason a family gets to exist.

If not you… then who? 🤔

Think that plenty of men are already donating s***m, so you don’t have to? Think again. That misconception unfortunately means that incredible men never step forward to help give the gift of life.

Begin the process with a simple application form. You can change people’s lives.

A few things people get wrong about s***m donation:

❌ "It takes ages to get started". The first step is an initial enquiry form that takes 30 seconds.
❌ "It's complicated". Our team walks you through every step, so you always know what’s happening.
❌ "It won't make a real difference". One donor can actually help create up to 10 beautiful families.

The numbers just aren’t adding up…

The demand for s***m donation in the UK has risen by 22% in recent years – but the number of men coming forward has barely moved. The gap is real and urgent.

The opportunity to do something genuinely extraordinary? It's right here. Tap the link in our bio to learn more about becoming a s***m donor and what it entails.

Most men will scroll past this. Are you like most men?

Most will think 'good cause' and keep going. A few might click, maybe they’ll fill in the form. But even fewer will actually go on to donate.

Those men? They helped create families that wouldn't have existed otherwise. They're one in a million. Are you?

Here's a number worth sitting with: around 24.5% of fertility treatments in the UK use UK donors.

The rest is imported from overseas… because there simply aren't enough men coming forward. Families are waiting longer than they should, and the situation is getting worse, not better.

If you're aged 18-45 and in good health, you have the power to change that. You could be one in a million ✨

“I’d urge any man who can to consider being a s***m donor. When I look back on what I’ve done with my life so far, my work in fertility is one of the things I’m proudest of. You’ll be sharing the talents and skills that make you special, and giving a precious gift to somebody yearning for the happiness a child of their own can bring.:

That's a real NUH Life donor. A man who showed up, said yes, and changed lives he'll never fully know about.

Could you say the same? Link in bio: the enquiry form takes less than 5 minutes ⏰
