Support
The Donor Family Network offers a wide range of support to donor families, regardless of when donation happened or in what circumstances. Support is provided by people who have been where you are today.
Telephone support - there is always someone on the end of the phone, although often the hardest part can be making the first call. We try to match each family with a family who has been through similar experiences who will offer a friendly ear when you need to talk.
Personal visit - if families would prefer a personal visit from another donor family this can be arranged either with the trustees or another donor family.
Anniversary cards - we send cards to the donor family on the anniversary of donation, many of our families find this very comforting that donation has been remembered.
Newsletter - our newsletter helps keep in touch with other donor families, issues surrounding organ donation, events and news.
Help and advice - the trustees are always available to offer help and advice with any issues concerning donation, death and bereavement.
