Did you know that there are more than 5,600 people in this country waiting for an organ transplant? Every year, less than 3,000 transplants are carried out and - sadly - more than 400 people die while waiting. Many lives could be saved and many more transformed if more organs were donated. Most people support organ donation, but only about 17% have actually joined the NHS Organ Donor Register.
Recently Stroud District Council wrote to householders in the District inviting them to sign up to the NHS Organ Donor Register. A copy of this letter and accompanying Freepost Registration Form can be downloaded by clicking the links below.
