Anthony Nolan saves the lives of people with blood cancer and blood disorders
Founded in 1974 as the world’s first stem cell register, we’re motivated by a mother’s determination to save her son, Anthony.
Over 45 years later, three people a day are now given a second chance of life, thanks to generous funders and an ever-growing stem cell register. Our charity is a lifesaving legacy.
By recruiting potential donors, funding ground-breaking research, and providing the best post-transplant care from our clinical nurses, we can cure people’s blood cancer together.
Our vision
To save and improve the lives of everyone who needs a stem cell transplant.
This is our fundamental vision and, if you’ve known us a while, you’ll notice it hasn’t changed. That’s because our cause is as relevant now as it was 45 years ago when Shirley Nolan first started the charity to find a matching stem cell donor for her son, Anthony.
