Overview

Anthony Nolan is a leading UK charity dedicated to saving the lives of people with blood cancers and blood disorders. Based at their London headquarters in Hampstead, the organisation operates a unique bone marrow and stem cell donor register, one of the largest in the world. The charity was founded to help patients find matching donors for life-saving transplants, which remain one of the most effective treatments for conditions including leukaemia, lymphoma, and sickle cell disease.

The organisation recruits and maintains a database of volunteer donors willing to provide bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells to patients in need. Anthony Nolan also funds research into blood cancer treatments and provides support services to patients and their families throughout their transplant journey. The charity works with hospitals across the UK and internationally to coordinate donor matches and facilitate transplant procedures.

Anthony Nolan relies on donations and volunteer support to continue its vital work. Members of the public can register as potential donors, and the charity welcomes financial contributions to support its research and patient services. The organisation plays a crucial role in the UK healthcare system, helping to give people with serious blood conditions a chance at longer, healthier lives.
