UK allocates £600,000 to boost blood and organ donations from Black and Asian communities.

Led by NHS Blood and Transplant, the Community Grants Programme will fund community and faith-based organizations to raise awareness. This initiative targets health inequalities, as patients from these communities often struggle to find matching donors, especially for conditions like sickle cell disease.
