Inspiring the Next Generation to Save Lives
We Are Donors is a UK registered charity aiming to increase the number of organ and blood donors across the UK through student-led education at schools and universities. We are a network of University groups across the UK dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of organ and blood donation. We do this by recruiting and training university students to give talks and run workshops at schools in their local region, and also through awareness events and blood drives at their university. So far we have spoken to over 9000 students and the future looks bright!
We have now spoken to over 9000 students in the UK about Organ Donation
Before our talks 10% of students were on the organ donor registry and after 54% planned to join!
We have shown that early education about organ donation in schools increases student awareness of the issues in transplantation.
