Can I join the register if I'm taking PrEP?
Of course! You can join the register if you're taking PrEP. But if you're asked to donate between now and when you turn 61, then you might not be able to donate if you're still taking PrEP or took it in the months leading up to our request. This is because PrEP interferes with the testing process that all potential donors go through.
Can I join the register if I'm gay?
Of course! Your sexuality won’t stop you joining our register. You’ll be subject to the same rules and health checks as everyone else. Join today!
Why do you need more men to join the register?
Young men are far more likely to be chosen to donate by transplant centres and provide more than half of all donations. Unfortunately, they only make up 18% of our register. There’s therefore an urgent need for more to sign up. Will you? Join now!
Why do you need to be aged 16–30?
Legally, you can only give ‘informed consent’ to join when you’re over 16.
A stem cell donation is voluntary and wouldn’t directly benefit you, so your parent/guardian can’t give consent on your behalf.
Our upper age limit is 30 because our research has shown that stem cell transplants work better if the donor is younger so we focus our limited funds on recruiting donors aged 30 and under
Ready to register? Join now! Once you're on it, you could be asked to donate until you turn 61.
Is it possible to support a specific project?
Yes, it is. We know that some charitable trusts and funders prefer to know their donation will support a specific project or aspect of Anthony Nolan’s work.
We have a large number of projects and programmes in need of support.
