Share your experience

Have you or someone close to you donated their organs or tissues or received a transplant? Are you or someone you love waiting for an organ?

Your story could help to inspire and encourage people to donate.

Personal stories that show what it’s like waiting for an organ and how a transplant can change lives are extremely powerful. So are stories of organ and tissue donation told by families who are proud that their loved one has saved and transformed lives.

Real stories of donation and transplant can encourage people to become organ and tissue donors.

If you are interested in sharing your story, please email your contact details and a brief summary of your story to pressoffice@nhsbt.nhs.uk

We’ll then get in touch.
