Get involved in this year's Organ Donation Week
Organ Donation Week 2025
This year's Organ Donation Week starts on Monday 22 September and continues until Sunday 28 September.
The waiting list has never been higher
Your decision has never been more important
More people than ever before are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant in the UK, but donor and transplant numbers have fallen.
There are currently more than 8000 people on the waiting list in need of a transplant to save or improve their lives. In the past year, more than 400 people died because they didn't get the transplant they needed.
We need your help to share our message and make sure everyone knows how important their decision could be for people on the waiting list.
