During Volunteers Week, blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan is saying thank you to the volunteers who help power the charity’s lifesaving work.

Volunteers work across many areas of Anthony Nolan, helping the charity to save the lives of people with blood cancer who are in need of a stem cell transplant.

Anthony Nolan has become part of a major new cancer charity coalition to help improve the lives of children and young people with cancer.  

The Children and Young People with Cancer (CYCC) coalition launches today with a letter to Health and Social Care Secretary Jeremy Hunt, co-signed by our CEO Henny Braund. The CEO led coalition aims to improve outcomes for children and young people with cancer through speaking up on issues that matter to them, having a unified voice and supporting each other as charities and CEOs. 

The #CureKaiya appeal is urging the UK's Indian community to join the Anthony Nolan stem cell register.

Five-year-old Kaiya thrives winning races at sports day and enjoys swimming and gymnastics. She also loves the colours blue and pink, watching Topsy and Tim and playing 'mummies and daddies' with her three-year-old sister Annika.

In July 2017 Shilan Madurasinghe, a father from Tottenham, was given the devastating news his young daughter, Camllie, had Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). AML is an acute form of leukaemia, a cancer of the white blood cells, which accounts for less than 1% of all new cancer cases diagnosed in the UK each year. Three- year- old Camillie has relapsed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia.

This Nurses Week, blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan is celebrating the appointment of its ninth Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) at Kings College Hospital London.

Anthony Nolan funds CNS at nine hospitals across the UK in the aim of raising the standard of post-transplant care for stem cell transplant recipients.

A new film launched today by Anthony Nolan is calling on young men aged 16-30 to join the stem cell register and #BeALifesaver. 

The campaign, fronted by potential lifesaver and professional basketball player, Lamar Roberts, calls on young men to do something amazing for someone with blood cancer. By joining the Anthony Nolan register and possibly donating their stem cells young men could, potentially, give somebody in need of a transplant a second chance of life. 

Anthony Nolan’s chief executive, Henny Braund, has made the following statement in response to the news of John Underwood’s death:

"We are deeply saddened to hear news of John’s death; our thoughts go out to his family and friends at this difficult time.

“John’s beautiful, passionate and often humorous writing about his experiences of being diagnosed with late stage lymphoma and his subsequent transplant journey helped raise more than £120,000 for us over three years.

A partnership between Police Scotland and blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan has inspired more than 500 police recruits to register as stem cell donors.
