Live Life Give Life was founded in 2006 by Emily Thackray and Emma Harris, both of whom were living with cystic fibrosis.[3] The organisation began as an awareness initiative centred on the phrase “Live Life Give Life”, using public messaging to prompt conversation about organ donation, and later developed into a formal charitable organisation.[4]
Activities
Live Life Give Life delivers public awareness campaigns and educational initiatives focused on organ donation. Its activities include community engagement, talks and presentations, public events, and the distribution of informational resources.[5][6] The charity also supports a limited number of welfare and research-related projects connected to transplantation.[7][8]
Partnerships
Live Life Give Life works with a range of organisations involved in health, education, and social welfare to support its educational and awareness objectives. These include partnerships with Orgamites on child-focused health education, as well as collaboration with transplant research bodies such as Quality in Organ Donation.[9] The charity has also participated in joint awareness initiatives such as Orgtober, delivered alongside public health and community partners.[10][11]
Live Life Give Life is governed by a board of trustees responsible for overseeing its activities and strategic direction, including film director and philanthropist Roydon Turner, who also serves as executive chairman of Orgamites, and Professor Luke Yates, a senior researcher in genome stability.[14][15]
