Let's bust a myth for !

MYTH: "I can't be an organ donor or blood donor because I have a tattoo."
FACT: In the UK, you can donate blood 4 months after getting a tattoo (from a licensed artist). Having a tattoo does NOT prevent you from registering as an organ donor.
Don't let myths stop you from saving a life. Get the facts!

is all about you.

Your body is not just a body. It's a masterpiece, a vessel for your dreams, and a testament to your lineage. Please treat it with kindness. Speak to it with love. Appreciate its power. A positive self-image isn't about vanity; it's about acknowledging your worth. You are worthy of love, and you are capable of giving life.

It's ! Let's get straight to the facts. Why is donating blood so crucial for our community?

Matched Blood is Best: Many patients, especially those with sickle cell disease, need blood that is closely matched to their own. This is most likely to come from a donor of a similar ethnic background.

Constant Need: Blood is perishable and has a short shelf life. There is a continuous, daily need for all blood types.

It's Quick: The actual donation process takes approximately 10-15 minutes.

Happy New Month, TRWAC family! Welcome to a month of power, purpose, and pride.

As we step into October, we also step into Black History Month UK. This is our time to honour the giants whose shoulders we stand on and to build the healthier future they dreamed of for us.

This month, we invite you to join us as we celebrate Our History and advocate fiercely for Our Health.

May this new month bring you abundant health, renewed strength, and a deeper connection to our incredible heritage. May your path be clear and your spirit be bold. Let's make it an October to remember, together.

It’s Health Advocacy Monday! This month, we're talking about two of the most powerful things you have: your self-image and your power to save lives. Loving yourself means appreciating your body for all it can do—and that includes its incredible ability to help someone else. Your blood, your organs, your stem cells... they are all part of a powerful legacy. Let's start this month by celebrating our power.

As Black History Month draws to a close, our mission becomes clearer than ever. Our History, Our Health is not just a theme; it's a mandate. We've honoured our past pioneers and celebrated our present heroes. Now, we must carry their legacy forward by becoming active participants in our own health journey. Knowledge, advocacy, and community action are the tools we will use to build a future free from health inequality.

It's , and this one is about leaving a legacy. The future of health for our community depends on representation on the stem cell registry. A bone marrow transplant is the only cure for many blood cancers, but Black patients have less than a 25% chance of finding a matching donor. You can change that. If you are aged 16-30, you can join the registry. Your action today could be a young person's cure tomorrow.

Our history informs our present, but our actions today build our future. This week, our focus is on the next generation. Ensuring the health of our children and young people is our greatest responsibility. This means teaching them about their health, empowering them to advocate for themselves in medical settings, and making informed decisions about things like genetic screening for conditions like sickle cell trait. A healthy future for our community starts with the knowledge we pass down today.
