A CHARITY held its first face-to-face organ donation awareness event following the lockdown. ‘Let’s Talk About You and Me’ is run by One Voice Blackburn and has received a share of £600,000 funding as part of the government’s commitment to tackle health inequalities in Black and Asian communities. Having previously only focused on promoting organ donation, the scheme has now been opened to include projects which also highlight the importance of blood donation. The first Covid-secure event at Bangor St Community Centre included a 90-minute awareness workshop. Specialist nurse in organ donation Angela Ditchfield spoke about the process of transplants, both living and otherwise. She also explained the need of donors from the South Asian community.
