Make Yourself A Superhero at V Festival

• 15th Aug 2008

Music lovers and festival goers are being encouraged to ‘Become a Superhero’ and sign up as an organ donor at this summers V Festivals.

UK Transplant’s campaign hopes to raise awareness of organ donation among a younger audience, giving them the chance to ‘superhero themselves’ at the festival and also online with a fun photo application link

Visitors to the stand will be invited to become ‘caped crusaders’ for organ donation and join the NHS Organ Donor Register. Plus the roadshow will explain to festival-goers how donating organs can transform and often save people’s lives.

Organ donation supporters include the Stereophonics bass player Richard Jones who will be playing with the group at the festivals.

UK Transplant marketing and campaigns manager, Angie Burton, said: “We’re asking V Festival visitors to join the 15.6 million other ‘superheroes’ who have already joined the ODR and to discuss their wishes with their families.”

“Targeting festival goers is crucial to our campaign as young people are fantastic supporters of organ donation; 30% of people on the register were aged between 16 and 25 when they joined.”
