Pregnancy Centres Network

One in three women will terminate a pregnancy by the time she’s 45, and one in four known pregnancies end in miscarriage.  Women have also said that they are having to choose to have an abortion, even for wanted pregnancies, as they cannot afford the cost of raising a child, including the cost of childcare.    Given the high prevalence of abortion and pregnancy loss, the chances are you have a family member or friend who has been affected, and you may not even be aware as many women do not feel able to share what they have been through, and many struggle to find independent support when grappling with these issues. Pregnancy Centres Network (PCN) was set up in 2014 in response to a request from representatives of numerous independent pregnancy centres operating with a Christian ethos and was founded by trustees and staff with many years of experience setting up and running centres. Currently PCN supports around 60 independent Pregnancy Centres across the UK who work with a non-directive ethos, based on Christian principles, as defined in our governing document. Our goal is to serve centres and build best practice.  Our vision is that no-one in the UK has to face unintended pregnancy, abortion or other pregnancy loss alone, and that teenagers and vulnerable adults can make healthy decisions about relationships and sex.  Our mission is that no woman in the UK is more than 20 miles from their nearest centre.
