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.

There are well over a million men aged 18-45 in the East Midlands. We recruited 3 donors.

We need more men to step forward.

Out of the millions of eligible men locally, only 3 became s***m donors with NUH Life last year. We need 10-15 to meet demand. The shortage is real… and the families are waiting.

You might have seen the headlines about unregulated donation. That’s not what we do. We’re fully HFEA-licensed, regulated and legally protective – and we urgently need more men to step forward.

Debunking the news: “Judge warns of unregulated s***m donor who fathered 180 children”. Let's talk about it 🗞️

“A UK judge publicly warned about a man advertising himself as a s***m donor on social media who claims to have fathered around 180 children.” Headlines and articles like this can understandably put men off becoming donors, worried that they might become father to hundreds of future children.

But this is unregulated donation.

Unregulated s***m donation outside of clinics can absolutely lead to legal complications and emotional distress. There are no limits on numbers of families in unregulated systems… unlike in licensed UK clinics, like NUH Life. Scary headlines like this are simply not representative of regulated donation.

We’re fully HFEA-licensed, regulated and legally protective. Find out more via the link in our bio.

S***m donation isn’t about attention, praise or public gestures.

🐣It’s about helping someone who can’t start a family on their own.
🌹It’s about doing something meaningful, quietly.
💝It’s about knowing you made a difference without needing anything in return.

This February, consider a different kind of gift. Apply to become a s***m donor - link in bio.

One of the biggest myths about s***m donation? That it comes with emotional strings attached.

In reality, donating through a licensed clinic means:
✔ Clear boundaries
✔ No parental responsibility
✔ No future involvement unless legally requested when a child turns 18

It’s generous, but it’s also clearly defined. Find out more in our FAQs - and drop us an email if you have questions, we’re a friendly bunch! 💌
