This service event runs from 10.40am until 3pm. Club volunteers will be given training for about 45 minutes by the Anthony Nolan Trust on taking the saliva samples and record keeping. At their freshers' day at the start of the academic year some 250 students volunteered to take part.

 

Anthony Nolan is a pioneering charity that saves the lives of people with blood cancer who need a blood stem cell, or bone marrow transplant. In 1974, Anthony Nolan's mother, Shirley, set up the world's first bone marrow register to match donors with people who desperately needed a transplant.

Now, every day, we help two people in need of a lifesaving transplant by using our register to find remarkable donors who have matching stem cells, or bone marrow.

We are a UK charity with international reach. We carry out world class research into stem cell matching and transplants to improve outcomes for all patients.

 

The Anthony Nolan mission has always been to save lives so they are going to do better. For some people, it really does mean the difference between life and death.
