Our group of volunteers aims to increase support for organ donation and assist those in Northern Ireland who have been affected by organ transplantation.

Transplantation raises all sorts of difficult, practical and emotional issues.

We exist to complement the information and support of medical staff. We are only a phone call or e-mail away, and can put you in touch with someone who has been through a similar experience.

Our group has three primary objectives

Increasing Organ Donation through promoting the Organ Donor Register

Supporting those affected by organ transplantation emotionally

Raising funds to help provide practical support to affected families
