Organ Donation Week is nearly here!
Get involved, go pink and help save lives!
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
- Register to become an organ donor online or via the NHS App
- Go pink to highlight the need for more organ donors and to remind people to register their decision
- Show your support for organ donation on social media
With your help, we can make this the best Organ Donation Week yet.
Make some noise
Organ Donation Week is all about raising awareness, and you're a big part of that. During Organ Donation Week, you can help us by:
- Sharing your 'pink' pictures on social media and tagging us at @nhsorgandonor
- Encouraging people to use the NHS Organ Donor Register to register their organ donation decision
- Sharing our digital materials on social media to help raise awareness
- Sharing your own organ donation story on social media tagging us at @nhsorgandonor
- Sharing this page to let others know how they can support our campaign
Go pink and share the fun
Sometimes people need reminding to register their decision about organ donation, and that's where you come in.
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.
