Saving lives
through
stem cells

You could be the answer someone’s looking for 

Someone with blood cancer or a blood disorder.
Someone in urgent need of a stem cell transplant. 

Your stem cells – and yours alone – could be the ones that save their life.

How? It starts with a swab.

How your gift today can help save lives

  • £20 goes a long way in helping us provide vital advice and information booklets for transplant patients and their families
  • £40 is what it costs us to process and add the details of every potential lifesaver who joins the stem cell register
  • £100 can help fund the groundbreaking research our scientists are doing right now to discover new treatments

One mother's amazing legacy

The world’s first stem cell register, and with it our charity, was set up by Shirley Nolan in her determination to save her son’s life by finding him a donor. 

Sadly at that time it wasn’t possible. But today – 50 years later - it is. And that’s because of Shirley and Anthony Nolan. Because of our world-leading register. Because of our expertise in stem cell transplants, and our advances in cell and gene therapy research. And because of you and people like you.  

Thanks to you, every day we give four people another chance to live. And with your continued support, we’ll do the same tomorrow, and the next day, and until every patient that needs us can not only survive, but thrive.

Anthony and his mother, Shirley Nolan
