Supporting people in Europe.
Instructions
Eligibility for grants
ASN does not ask their clients how they got pregnant or why they want abortions. Their only criteria are financial need and available funding.
Grants are given on a case-by-case basis. ASN also asks that clients arrange things in the most inexpensive way possible, so that our money can help the largest number of people.
They also provide funding and logistical support on a case-by-case basis to people resident in other parts of Europe and provide information as is possible to those who contact us from around the globe.
Accommodation
ASN will provide funding and logistical support to anyone who needs help travelling for an abortion. Clients are put in paid accommodation. Clients should contact ASN as soon as possible after deciding to terminate.
ASN requests that you get in touch with them before you book any travel, so they can help you arrange the least expensive procedure and travel arrangements possible.
About Abortion Support Network
Abortion Support Network (ASN) is a largely volunteer-run charity, founded in 2009, that provides practical information and financial support to women and pregnant people forced to travel for a safe and legal abortion. This service is available on a case-by-case basis to people in Europe.
In addition to funding abortion and travel costs, ASN provides information on how to arrange the least expensive abortion and travel. They also offer other specialised information, such as: how to apply for travel documents; what forms of transport accept what forms of ID; and creative navigation of any barriers that stand between services users and the abortions they seek.
Abortion Support Network's Community
Every year, thousands of women and pregnant people are forced to travel for safe abortions, at a cost of £500-£2500 ($600-$3400) – and even more, depending on the stage of pregnancy and additional costs on things like childcare and travel. In their first year of operation, ASN was able to provide grants to 34 women who otherwise could not have afforded the option of a safe abortion. In 2023 they funded 307 abortions and heard from 908 people in need of help.
As of 2024, the year of their 15th birthday, they have heard from 10,000 clients needing help across Europe.

Go to their website to make a donation to ensure that people seeking abortion can access legal and safe abortion care, regardless of the barriers they face.
The Abortion Support Network is largely powered by volunteers.
