Salary benchmarks
Our take
Founded in 1974 to find bone marrow donors for people suffering with blood cancer, Anthony Nolan is today one of Britain's largest recruiters of stem cell donors, along with DKMS, the Welsh Blood Service and NHS Blood and Transplant. As only one in four people with blood cancer will find a compatible donor in their family, Anthony Nolan's work saves over 1000 lives a year worldwide.
Aside from recruiting donors, Anthony Nolan conducts research through the Anthony Nolan Research Institute, with its findings reducing post-transplant complications and increasing quality of life for patients. It also maintains the UK's first dedicated cord blood bank which allows new mothers to donate their umbilical cords for research.
While there have been huge advances in treating blood cancer since Anthony Nolan was founded, there is today a major shortfall in donors, driven by a steep decline fron 2019 onwards. Anthony Nolan is heavily engaged in raising awareness of this issue, using major public events such as the London Marathon, where its team of volunteers will run to raise money and remind people of their vital work in this area.
