The Stem Cell Society is here!
New student initiative to add more potential stem cell donors to the registry
We’re excited to announce the launch of The Stem Cell Society! This brand-new, student-led initiative is making its debut at Freshers' Fairs and volunteering fairs across seven UK universities. If you're passionate about making a difference, this is your chance to get involved in a movement that aims to support blood cancer patients and recruit lifesaving stem cell donors.
What is the Stem Cell Society?
The Stem Cell Society empowers students to take meaningful action on their campuses. By organising awareness campaigns, donor drives, and community events, students will play an active role in increasing the number of registered stem cell donors, offering hope to those in need of a stem cell transplant.
