Recruiting stem cell donors

Join our community of potential donors

Over 2,000 people each year in the UK are in need of a blood stem cell transplant, however, just three percent of the UK’s population are registered as potential donors.

Help us to find more donors

The more people who register as blood stem cell donors, the better the chance for someone in need of a blood stem cell transplant to find their perfect match.

Help us register more donors so we can find a match for every person in need. Becoming a lifesaver-in-waiting is simple
