Sheila takes us through a training session with her Volunteer Unit in County Durham.

Our volunteers have been providing an extra pair of hands for blood donations and kidney dialysis.

We have a huge force of volunteers working hard behind the scenes.

If you've been helped by us, we want to hear from you. By sharing your story, you will help raise awareness of our life-saving work and make a huge difference.

Whatever you choose to do, we'll support you every step of the way. Every pound you raise helps save lives.

Whatever you enjoy doing, and however much time you can commit, there's a volunteer role for you.
