Anthony Nolan

Anthony Nolan is the charity that connects stem cell donors with people who need lifesaving transplants.

Through The Hero Project, they deliver free education sessions for sixth forms and colleges to help 16–18-year-olds understand stem cell, blood, and organ donation.

Sessions are delivered in assemblies, tutorials, or enrichment time, and gives students information about donation and the chance to make an informed decision about joining the stem cell register.

They also run a Student Champion programme, where students can support awareness activity in their school or college, help promote student registration events, and get involved in peer-to-peer engagement. The role builds confidence, communication skills and experience of volunteering.

The Hero Project is active in schools and colleges across England and supports both student learning and enrichment provision.
