If you have any comments or suggestions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Members of the Tissue Bank team are more than happy to come out and give talks about the Tissue Bank to local PDS and YAPP&R branches. To date we have given talks at the following local PDS branches: Aberystwyth, Bath, Barnet, Beccles, Brentwood, Byfleet, Cheltenham, Christchurch, Croydon, Doncaster, Horsham, Leicester, Lincoln, Malmesbury, North Herts/Stevenage, Northampton, Poole, Rugby, Sevenoaks, Worthing, the Scottish branch meeting in Sterling and the Northern Ireland branch meeting in Cookstown.

We would like to thank everyone at those branches who made our visits possible. Their help is very much appreciated! We also have the following branches booked in for the near future: Bradford (Oct 15th), Dumfries (Oct 20th), Halifax (Nov 8th) and Oldham (Nov 26th)

Just let us know if you are interested in us visiting your local group!

Dr Kirstin Goldring, Tissue Bank Manager
