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.

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.’
