Saracens and England Rugby player, Richard Hill, has launched easyJet’s in-flight collection campaign for The Anthony Nolan Trust. Throughout the summer, easyJet cabin crew will ask passengers to donate any loose change to support the charity.
EasyJet collections allow passengers from flights across Europe to donate money. Last year’s collections raised over £500,000.
The partnership with easyJet will also enable The Anthony Nolan Trust to recruit thousands of urgently needed individuals to bone marrow registers across Europe.

This is the second year of easyJet’s charity partnership with The Anthony Nolan Trust.
Rugby player Richard Hill said at the launch: “The Anthony Nolan Trust is a charity that is close to my heart. I chose to support the charity financially with proceeds from my a year of fundraising in 2006.”
EasyJet on-board collections will take place on all flights during August and September. A proportion of the money raised will be shared by The Anthony Nolan Trust with its
sister registers in the European countries that easyJet flies to.
