Get involved, go pink and help save lives!

 

 

30 years of the NHS Organ Donor Register

When is Organ Donation Week?

Organ Donation Week runs from 23 to 29 September this year. 

Are you ready to celebrate 30 years of the NHS Organ Donor Register with us this September?

Almost 60,000 lives have been saved since the NHS Organ Donor Register was created in 1994 and Organ Donation Week is the perfect opportunity to highlight this incredible fact.

What is Organ Donation Week?

Organ Donation Week is a week-long campaign that takes place every year, with the aim of raising awareness about the incredible gift of organ donation.

The more people we reach, the more people who register their decision to become organ donors after they die, and the more lives we save. There are 7,600 people in need of an organ transplant right now, let’s bring hope to them and their families.

How you can help

With your help, we can make this the best Organ Donation Week yet.

Go pink and share the fun

Pink is the colour of the NHS Organ Donor Card, and so to raise awareness of the life-saving gift of organ donation, we want to turn as much of the world pink as we can.
