Sign up to Connections 

Our new way of regular giving

Giving regularly can help us recruit more people to our stem cell register, increasing the chance of making lifesaving connections for patients in desperate need of a transplant.

It's simple and saves lives.

You could save someone like Jensen 

Through Connections, you’ll get the real-life impact of your monthly giving, straight to your inbox – giving that could help transform the life of someone like 10-year-old Jensen. 

Jensen's story

In 2021, when Jensen was just seven, he was diagnosed with XLP1, an extremely rare type of cancer. He needed a stem cell transplant from a matching donor – a lifesaving connection. Thanks to Anthony Nolan, he finally got his new cells in June 2022. Now he’s going from strength to strength. 

'We are forever thankful for the kindness of his donor and the gift of life he’s given to Jensen.' - Jensen’s mum, Beverley

£12 a month could cover the cost of 80 cheek swab kits and postage to potential donors, in order to add more lifesavers to the stem cell register.

£15 a month could help our scientists conduct groundbreaking research, from increasing the success of stem cell transplants to supporting the development of pioneering cell and gene therapies.

£20 a month could add six new potential lifesavers to our register. This includes the cost of recruiting a donor, collecting their cheek swab, and analysing it to find out their tissue type.
