This is a new chat group set up for people who are either awaiting a bone marrow transplant to treat a rare bone marrow failure condition, or who have already had one.

We know from many years of experience the worries and questions you may have - and we are here to help. 

We have set up this chat group to give you the opportunity to ask questions and share your experiences in a safe and confidential space.  

You are very welcome, you don't need to have attended any previous events or have spoken to us before. Just come along and say hello!

Led by Sam

Having been through aplastic anaemia treatment himself as a child and receiving a stem cell transplant at the age of 21, Sam is passionate about supporting patients. He's here to provide you with a friendly ear, and expert, up to date information about the disease and treatment. 

Sam has extensive experience of managing online communities and manages our thriving Facebook community, supported by our wonderful volunteers. He has also been an ambassador for Anthony Nolan for many years, encouraging people to join the stem cell register.

How we keep this space safe for everyone

We know that sometimes it can be nerve-racking attending a new event, so here's how we manage our groups so you know what to expect when you join us.

This is a confidential space, where the aim is for you to experience and share empathy and understanding with other people in a similar situation.

As the space is confidential, we ask that you do not share what you hear within the group, outside of the group.

Your opinions are your own and we ask that everyone respects that other people's opinions may be different from yours, and that's ok!

We are an evidence-based organisation and support evidence based treatments.

We know that groups are not for everyone, and sometimes you won't know that till you try them out.  If you decide a group is not right for you at this time, then that's ok - you can leave with no questions asked. (Although we may check in on you later to see if you're ok).

The facilitator is responsible for the wellbeing of the whole group, and if a particular subject is causing distress to others the facilitator will kindly move the discussion on.

If anything you hear in the group session distresses you, we invite you to please reach out to your AAT facilitator.

If you're nervous about joining the chat and would like to get in touch with Sam before the event, you can call our helpline number on +44 (0) 300 102 3202 or email [email protected].
