For example, you could share the link to the page on your social media profiles, helping to raise awareness and encouraging people to join the register.
We have lots of information available about the charity and our mission. Please check out our Resource Library for materials and tips on how to share our mission.
Anyone can create a drive; whether you're a patient or know someone in need of a transplant, an individual, a company, a school, a university or a sports club, to name but a few!
All we ask is that you are keen to share our mission and register new potential blood stem cell donors.
