Trustee
I am a family solicitor, and a collaborative lawyer, practising all areas of family law, with a specialism in surrogacy. My aim for the Foundation is to help educate all members of the legal profession and judiciary and raise awareness and understanding of the benefits of surrogacy for modern family-building and family life.

Trustee
I'm currently CEO of SurrogacyUK and I've been part of the surrogacy community for over 20 years. I'm a passionate advocate for the surrogacy community and - as a five-times surrogate - I'm especially interested in making sure that surrogates' voices are heard in conversations about surrogacy and that their rights and bodily autonomy are respected. I also believe that the welfare of the people that they help bring into the world is the primary consideration in surrogacy arrangements, and advocate for openness, transparency and ongoing relationships as best practice for all UK surrogacy journeys.

I'm so happy that the UK has a charity to support the public's understanding of this important pathway to parenthood.

Trustee
I'm a legal academic and I research the social and legal aspects of surrogacy, pregnancy and reproductive technologies. I'm especially interested in the experiences and wellbeing of surrogates in different countries, and in ensuring that children's voices are heard in the development of surrogacy law. My hope for the Foundation is to continue the long-standing collaboration between the surrogacy community and the academic community to develop research that impacts legal reform and the public understanding of surrogacy.

Trustee
I am a parent through surrogacy and a member of SurrogacyUK's Ethics Committee. Previously I was a Director of SurrogacyUK where my work focused on governance and public policy. My particular hope for the charity is to harness the lived experience and collective wisdom of surrogates and the families they have helped to create across the UK to make a positive difference to surrogacy in this country in the future.

Trustee
I'm a parent through surrogacy and I'm delighted to have helped establish the UK's first surrogacy charity. I have worked in both the public and charity sectors throughout my career including nearly a decade as a charity trustee. I know first hand the impact charities have for the communities they serve and the good they can do for society as whole. Ethical surrogacy is something I am passionate about and am excited to be part of the SurrogacyUK Foundation as it advocates for the UK's surrogacy community.

Chris chaired the Board of Trustees through the charity's establishment and until April 2024.

Trustee & Chair
I have helped to create families as a surrogate and represented the voices of surrogates in surrogacy law reform. As an HR and EDI professional my passion is to advocate for equal employment rights and to improve employer awareness about surrogacy. I have been involved with SurrogacyUK since 2015 as a member of its ethics committee and more recently as Director. My aim for the Foundation is to amplify the voices of those with lived experience of surrogacy.

Together we can create a legacy which supports the long-term wellbeing of children born through surrogacy and celebrates surrogacy as a form of family building.

Trustee
As a surrogate I've experienced both the joy that surrogacy can bring, and the need to improve conditions for everyone involved: my ambition for the charity is to achieve that improvement through education. I've held several roles in the third sector and I'm working with young people with special educational needs, I'm passionate about inclusion and looking forward to making a difference through the Foundation.

Trustee
I’m a parent through surrogacy and Chair of the Board of Directors of SurrogacyUK. I hope that through the work of the charity more people will have the opportunity that I had to experience the joy of parenthood, and that my friend Emma had in helping me and my husband start a family. I’m particularly passionate about demonstrating that family life is achievable for young LGBTQ+ people.
