The NLC 2012 is designed to increase and stimulate public awareness of Organ Donation and increase the profile of the Charities of the NI TRANSPLANT FORUM throughout Northern Ireland.

It will be an opportunity for the Charities of the NITF to raise funds for forthcoming activities in 2012 such as the British Transplant Games in Medway, Kent, and the European Transplant and Dialysis Games in Croatia

It is hoped that the event will continue the legacy of the Belfast British Transplant Games 2011 and maintain Organ Donation in the public arena, encourage signing of the Donor Register and early discussion about the merits of Organ Donation.
