Organ Donation Week 2026
Monday 21 to Sunday 27 September
Thank you
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that supported Organ Donation Week!
All over the country we've seen wonderful examples of how you have encouraged people to record their decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register.
We know that many people support organ donation but this Organ Donation Week we really wanted to convert that support into action.
Many thousands of people confirmed their organ donation decision during the week, which is fantastic!
We still need more people to register their decision
Right now, the number of people on the transplant waiting list is as high as it's ever been.
Keep your support going, keep encouraging those around you to record their organ donation decision, because together we can help to save more lives.
A special thank you to our organ donation ambassadors, donor families, partners, case studies, spokespeople and all our supporters who gave up their time to show their support for organ donation this year.
What is Organ Donation Week?
Organ Donation Week is an annual event, and a chance for us to focus attention on the importance of organ donation and the need for more donors.
This year, we need your support more than ever as over 8,500 people are currently in need of a transplant to save or improve their lives.
