About Us
Upahaar is a UK-based charity dedicated to saving lives through blood stem cell and organ donation, with a special focus on supporting the South Asian community.
We raise awareness, run registration drives, and provide support to donor families. Through partnerships with organizations like Delete Blood Cancer UK and NHS Blood and Transplant, we help people join the donor registry and understand the life-saving impact of donation.
Volunteering
We deeply value our volunteers. Whether you help raise awareness, attend registration drives, or encourage others to join, your involvement can save lives. We provide all necessary training and a certificate of participation.
You can host a donor registration drive in your community or with a local organisation. Once you've confirmed local support, contact Upahaar's national volunteer coordinator.
Please do not make financial agreements without prior approval.
