There are currently 8,096 people on the UK transplant waiting list, including 276 children. It is vital that we increase the number of organ donors. Speak to your loved ones about organ donation and confirm your decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register #OrganDonation #NHS

20 years on from 7/7, we remember those affected and honour the remarkable response from blood donors and staff. The bombings created unprecedented demand for blood – far higher than any previous incident.
Today marks 20 years since 7/7 London bombings. We remember the lives lost and the extraordinary response from our donors and staff. Remarkably, around 22% of our current donors were already giving blood then. Were you donating in 2005, or did 7/7 move you to start?
