👁️ This #WorldSightDay, around 6,000 people in the UK are waiting for a corneal transplant, facing an average wait of 18 months to regain their sight.

You could transform lives by becoming a cornea donor after you die.

Join us this #WorldSightDay as we go behind the scenes to see what happens after corneas are donated.

💚 Today is #worldmentalhealthday 💚

For those waiting for a transplant, the emotional journey can be challenging. Remember, it's okay to seek support and talk about how you're feeling. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as caring for your body.

Congratulations to our team manager! Thanks for all you do Deccers.

Silver Anniversary: Huge day today. 25 years ago I was hugely fortunate to get a kidney transplant. Only through that would I be here in my 60th year. I can’t thank my donor for his selfless help, I do honour him every day by enjoying life. ⁦⁦⁦@NHSOrganDonor⁩ ⁦
