Anthony Nolan
Anthony Nolan is a charity that helps people with blood cancer and blood disorders who need a stem cell transplant. We work to connect patients with matching stem cell donors, while also supporting patients and their families throughout the transplant process. We manage a stem cell donor register and raise awareness of the importance of stem cell donation across the UK.
Description

Volunteer with UCL Marrow

UCL Marrow will be an ambassador group that supports Anthony Nolan, the charity that saves the lives of people with blood cancer and blood disorders by helping them receive a stem cell transplant.

We recruit potential stem cell donors to the Anthony Nolan stem cell register and raise money for the charity through events across the academic year. We're looking for volunteers to help run donor recruitment and fundraising stalls on campus.

Volunteering with UCL Marrow is a great way to develop skills in leadership, teamwork, communication, and student engagement. You'll have the chance to explain the science behind stem cell donation, meet new people, and help sign up potential lifesaving donors.

You'll also receive exciting Marrow merchandise and be supported by a passionate and friendly committee and the Anthony Nolan team.

Whether you can help at one event or several, we'd love to have you involved.
