Become a Lifesaver During Luton Swab Week

Patients who need a stem cell transplant to save their life are more likely to find their best match from a donor of the same ethnicity. But 70% of all registered donors are white, even though 88% of the world’s population isn’t. So non-white patients are at a major disadvantage, which we simply cannot accept. Right now, less than 700 Luton residents from minority ethnic backgrounds are registered as stem cell donors.

That’s why we’re holding Luton Swab Week from 23-27 January 2023

If you’re a student at Luton Sixth Form College or the University of Bedfordshire, this is your chance to become a potential lifesaver.

If you’re not a student and are aged 16-30 years, you can still become a lifesaver. Just click on this link to order a postal swab kit.
