Welcome to the Full Stop Community CIC
This is the home of the monthly Full Stop Pod, a conversational podcast for everyone. Listen to our guests as they share their stories on the theme of childlessness. You’ll hear a range of voices on topics such as ageing, being single and childless, World Childless Week, Storyhouse Childless, writing, end-of-life planning, IVF failure and pregnancy loss, workplaces, LGBTQIA+, women of colour, money and intimacy. You can find the Full Stop Podcast on your favourite podcast listening app or tune in on this website. → Listen to the Podcast
Our inclusive, online Full Stop Community is exclusively for childless people with audience access to the podcast. Come along to our monthly Culture Club chat, join our Write and Create event, and chat about pets, creativity. Let off steam in rant and rave, celebrate your wins and find comfort with grief, alongside friends who ‘get it’. Our online Community is hosted on Circle and costs £10 a month, with your first month free. We firmly believe that cost should not prevent support, please email us and we’ll support you. It’s open to all people, including men, who identify as childless. → Join the Community → Read the Diversity Statement
Presented and founded by Sarah Lawrence, Michael Hughes, and Berenice Howard-Smith, who are involuntarily childless. Trading as The Full Stop Community CIC, Company Number 14769401
