Years lived.
Lives saved.
Love shared.

Save50 is a simple challenge: celebrate the life you’ve lived by saving 50 lives in one year — with the time, money or heart you have.

Anyone can make a life-saving difference.

Four ways to save your fifty

Pick a pillar. Start today.

You don’t need a fortune — or even much time. Small, practical actions add up to fifty lives faster than you’d think.

Give blood

Under an hour of your day, up to three lives saved per donation. Four visits a year and you’ve saved 12 of your 50.

How to donate →

Join the registers

Five minutes to join the DKMS stem cell register or confirm your organ donation decision. One match can change a family’s story forever.

Give time

Volunteer as little as 12 hours a year — lifeguarding, first response, teaching CPR — and you could help save 10 lives.

Ways to volunteer →

Give money, well

Effective giving saves lives with certainty. £4 protects a child from malaria for a year. Learn how to donate where it counts most.

“How could I do something meaningful, how could I give back, how could I make a difference? Save50 came about from doing some basic research and realising we all have more power to make positive impact than we realise. Ten hours a year might save twelve lives.” — Rich, founder of Save50
