Anthony Nolan (https://www.anthonynolan.org)

Anthony Nolan is the charity that unites people and science – matching stem cell donors to those with blood cancers and blood disorders in need of transplants and treatments. Their register of almost a million potential donors means more people can find the lifesaving match they need. Over the last 50 years the charity has been working at the cutting edge of cell therapies and made incredible progress. But there is so much more that can, and must, be done. Not all patients have access to the treatment they need. Many don’t survive. Others have to live with side effects of treatment. Anthony Nolan won’t stop until every patient can not only survive, but thrive.

Sands (https://www.sands.org.uk/)

Sands is the UK’s leading charity working to save babies’ lives and support bereaved families. Sands’ vision is a world where fewer babies die and when a baby does die, anyone affected receives the best possible care and support for as long as it is needed. For over 40 years, they have provided comfort through a freephone helpline, online community, and a UK-wide network of around 100 regional support groups. Sands collaborate with healthcare professionals to improve bereavement care and offers training to ensure that every bereaved parent and family receives the best possible care wherever they are in the UK. They also support and promote research to better understand baby loss, improve maternity safety, and save babies’ lives. By raising awareness and working with policymakers, Sands strives to make reducing baby deaths a national priority while supporting those who need it most.
