It’s World Haemophilia Day on Saturday 17 April and we would love you to join us in marking this important day!
The theme this year is: Adapting to Change, sustaining care in a new world
This important event is about bringing the global bleeding disorders community together. With the COVID-19 pandemic having a major impact on people with a bleeding disorder, that objective has never been more important.
The world has changed greatly over the last year, but one thing hasn’t: we are still in this together, and we will always be stronger together as a community in our shared vision of “Treatment for All”
Here’s a round-up of what you can do to show your support!
- Share your story – using one of these statements on this simple form:
“Living with a bleeding disorder in lockdown has taught me…”
“Caring for someone living with a bleeding disorder in lockdown has taught me…”
“Treating bleeding disorders in lockdown has taught me…”
- Host a virtual Buddies Who Brunch
Put on something red, find your favourite pan and join us for the weekend of fun, food, photography and fundraising! Invite friends and family to a virtual brunch and ask them to donate whatever they can to attend.
Sign up today and get your hands on one of our limited edition printed fundraising packs, including quiz sheets, decorations, recipes and more!
- Join our 36 Challenge
Choose a new challenge, or take on something you love and complete 36 (or 360, 3600, and any variation of those numbers) of whatever you choose.
You can take on a challenge as an individual or within a team of friends, family or colleagues, following social distancing and other current restrictions.

World Haemophilia Day is also a great time to support us and the work we do supporting people with bleeding disorders. You can make a one-off donation or set up a regular gift.
