Give life this Christmas
MANY of us will enjoy a family Christmas this year – lunch, mulled wine, mince pies and presents.
But not everyone will be so lucky.
Some will spend Christmas in hospital waiting for an organ transplant that will save their lives.
Today the NHS is launching its Christmas List campaign to urge people to register as organ donors.
There are 81 people in Dorset currently waiting for an organ – take a minute today to read our story and think about whether you can help give life this Christmas.
