If you believe in organ donation, prove it
Would you take an organ if you needed one? Nearly everyone would. But only 29% of us have joined the Organ Donor Register. More than 10,000 people in the UK currently need a transplant. Of these, 1000 each year – that's three a day - will die waiting as there are not enough organs available.
Please help us to turn people’s good intentions about organ donation into action by registering on the NHS Organ Donor Register.
