History
Live Life Give Life was founded in 2006 by Emily Thackray and Emma Harris, both of whom were living with cystic fibrosis.[2] The organisation began as an awareness initiative centred on the phrase “Live Life Give Life”, using public messaging to prompt conversation about organ donation, and later became a formal charitable organisation.[3]
Activities

Its activities include community engagement, talks and presentations, public events, and the distribution of informational resources.[4][5] The charity also supports a limited number of welfare and research-related projects connected to transplantation.[6][7]
Partnerships
Live Life Give Life works with a range of organisations involved in health, education, and welfare to support its educational and awareness objectives. These include partnerships with Orgamites on child-focused health education, as well as collaboration with transplant research bodies. The charity has also participated in joint awareness initiatives such as Orgtober, delivered alongside public health and community partners.[8]
