DKMS Society

The Stirling Stem Cell Society are a group of individuals keen to make a difference and help fight blood cancer. We work alongside the charity DKMS who are the world's largest stem cell donor register, with over 13.5 million potential donors registered. 

Our main mission as a society is to encourage individuals to become a stem cell donor, by signing up to the stem cell register. This means patients in need of a stem cell transplant have more chance of finding a match and recieving the life saving treatment/donations they need. More information can be found about stem cell donation here: Stem Cell Donation Explained | DKMS UK

We hold meeting every two or so weeks (depending on demand) where we plan upcoming events, recieve training and have workshops/activities to get to know each other better! 

There is also the opportunity to become a student ambassador. With this role there are opportunties to volunteer at events across the UK, recieve more training, and a paid trip to London to meet with the other societies across the UK! - also great for the CV :) More information about the student ambassador role can be found here: Stem Cell Society | Student Volunteering | DKMS UK

Whether you are interested in joining the stem cell register, becoming a student ambassador, volunteering, or simply want to know more, everyone is welcome!
