💗 Organ Donation Week 2026 💗

Organ donation starts with a conversation.

This week is an important reminder to talk openly with our loved ones about organ donation, to understand each other’s wishes and to make sure our families know the decisions we have made. 🫀🫁

Through British Sikh Nurses ☬, we have spent many years working within Sikh and wider South Asian communities to make these conversations easier, working with families, gurdwaras, faith and community leaders and NHS partners to challenge myths, build trust and raise awareness of both deceased and living organ donation. Our work has included NHS Blood and Transplant-funded community initiatives specifically focused on living donation.

Some of the most powerful moments have come from the families we have supported in their search for living donors. The Hope4Anaya campaign showed what can happen when a community comes together through compassion, awareness and seva, selfless service. Anaya's story helped bring living kidney donation into conversations in homes, gurdwaras and across social media, and she successfully received a transplant in 2019. 💗

These living-donation stories are about more than transplantation. They are stories of courage, families, generosity and one person giving another the opportunity of life.

This #OrganDonationWeek:

💗 Have the conversation with your loved ones.
🫀 Make your organ donation decision known.
🙏🏽 Learn more about living donation.
🗣️ Share the stories that can challenge myths and change lives.

Sometimes one conversation today can give another family hope tomorrow.

Talk. Decide. Share. Give the gift of life.

Please take a few minutes to read and sign this important open letter and add your voice to the call for urgent action.

Our nursing students and newly qualified nurses deserve more than warm words. They deserve funded jobs, high-quality training and placements, financial support and a sustainable future within our NHS. We cannot afford to train talented nurses only to lose them before their careers have even begun.

Please read, sign and share widely. Every signature matters.

Today, on International Nurses Day 2026, we celebrate the compassion, resilience, leadership, and dedication of nurses across the world.

Nurses are at the heart of every community; caring, advocating, educating, and saving lives every single day. From hospitals and homes to communities and classrooms, their impact reaches far beyond healthcare.

At British Sikh Nurses, we are proud to stand alongside nurses from all backgrounds who continue to make a difference through kindness, courage, and service.

Thank you to every nurse for the care you provide, the sacrifices you make, and the lives you touch.
