Cancer Support society and Anthony Nolan: Swabathon

Monday 16 February 2026 - 10am - 2pm
Students' Union, Stratford

Join the UEL Cancer Awareness Society, in collaboration with Anthony Nolan, for Swabathon — a life-saving donor registration drive dedicated to supporting patients affected by blood cancers and disorders.

Every 14 minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with blood cancer, and for many, a stem cell or bone marrow transplant is their only chance of survival. By taking just a few minutes to complete a simple cheek swab, you could be the match that saves a life.

Come along to learn more, raise awareness, and sign up to the Anthony Nolan register. The process is quick, painless, and could make an incredible difference to someone in need.

Quick swab. Big impact. One day. A lifetime of hope.

Together, we can turn small actions into life-changing outcomes.
