Our People

SurrogacyUK was formed in 2002, by a group of surrogates who believed that a successful journey for both surrogates and intended parent(s) was one based on trust, mutual respect and, above all, friendship

Our Board

SurrogacyUK is governed by a Board of Directors which includes Executive Directors (paid members of our management team) and Non-Executive Directors (NED – volunteers). We maintain a balance of surrogates/KEDs and intended parents on our board and co-opt non-members to provide externality and to support good governance.

Our Surrogate Team

Our surrogate team is made up of those with personal experiences of surrogacy, who can help support and guide potential surrogates through their surrogacy journey.  With a number of surrogate babies born between them, they have a unique understanding of those who want to be a surrogate.
