Abortion Support Network (ASN) is a volunteer-run organisation in London that provides accommodation for women living in Ireland who need to stay overnight when travelling to London for an abortion.

We also fundraise in order to give grants to help cover part of the cost of your abortion.

If you are travelling to London and need or want to stay the night before, during, or after your procedure (an overnight stay can reduce the cost of your airfare), our volunteers have space in their homes for you. Our hosts will give you a place to sleep, meals and will pay your cost on local transport (Tube or bus) while you are with them.

Funding is available on a case by case basis, depending on circumstances and availability of funds. You do not need to be travelling to London, or staying overnight, to qualify for a grant.

We can also direct you to organisations that can help you access an abortion and to other organisations offering abortion support services.

Do you or someone you know need information about accessing an abortion?

Our hosts will give you a place to sleep, meals and will pay your cost on local transport (tube or bus) while you are with them. They will also accommodate a partner, husband, friend or family member if you bring someone with you to London.
