Organ Donation Week: 22nd-28th September 2025

Organ Donation Week is an annual event run by the NHS dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of organ donation and encouraging people to discuss organ donation with their loved ones, and make an informed decision about donating their organs after death.

The week aims to highlight the life-saving impact of organ donation and to increase the number of people on the organ donor register. By sharing stories of those who have been saved by organ transplants Organ Donation Week aims to inspire more people to consider becoming organ donors.

This year for Organ Donation Week, in memory of more than 400 people who died last year waiting for an organ transplant, and for the 8000 people currently on the transplant waiting list, the NHS is campaigning to light up as many local buildings and landmarks across the country in pink. The hope is to remind people of the importance of, and need for, organ donors, as well as to remind people to confirm their decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register.
