Black and Asian people are at least three times more likely to need a kidney transplant than the rest of the population, but fewer people from these communities sign up as donors. Right now over 620 black and 1,170 Asian people in the UK are waiting for an organ transplant that could save or improve their life, but some of them will die waiting.
If you want to help someone live after your death, sign up to the register now. Click on the links below to find out more:
