Without you, there is no cure

That’s what we say to the incredible volunteers who power our lifesaving work. And we mean it. Because without our volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to help people with blood cancer find the matching stem cell donors they need to live.

With as little as a few spare hours each week, you could make a lifesaving difference. By becoming one of Anthony Nolan’s amazing volunteers, you can give the hope of a lifesaving stem cell transplant to people with blood cancer and blood disorders.

Find the role for you

Not sure what kind of volunteering is best for you? You’re in the right place. We’ll help you find your own lifesaving role, which works around your time commitments, availability and skills. Here are a few options to explore:

Bryan and Monica_COURIER_Landscape

After a transplant saved our daughter, Helen’s, life, we decided that we wanted to give something back, to help others.

‘The second courier trip I ever did took me to Glasgow, which is where Helen had her donor transplant. It was quite emotional and I was so pleased to be able to do that for someone else, like someone did for our daughter.’
