Welcome to Coventry Marrow

We are a group of students or as we like to be called Marrowers, who run the student-led branch of the registered charity Anthony Nolan. Anthony Nolan and marrow groups across the UK recruit individuals aged 16-30 to the stem cell register to help save the lives of those with blood cancers or blood disorders. 

Our aims

Coventry Marrow has three important aims:

1. To raise awareness of Anthony Nolan and blood cancer within universities around the UK. 
2. To give every student the opportunity to join our stem cell register.  
3. To raise funds to help support Anthony Nolan’s vital work.

Your Role

We're looking for Marrowers to help us run our donor recruitment sessions and fundraisers throughout the year. Events are fun and truly rewarding. Joining Coventry Marrow entails helping out at our fundraising events like bake sales or Christmas bag packing and during donor recruitment events supporting potential donors when filling out their forms and taking their DNA sample (don’t worry is not gross or too sciencey. It’s just a simple saliva swab). 

Don’t worry if you can’t commit to every event, 30 minutes of your day could potentially go on to save a life.

Training Events

If you want to volunteer with Coventry marrow just drop us an email or message via social media. We can then arrange dates and times for training.
