Hi Andrew,
Fantastic you are interested in becoming a living donor. Suggest you read the links on the top left of this page under “become a donor” that will describe the whole process to you. Then check this page and locate your nearest transplant unit (or any one of your choice) http://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/about_transplants/transplant_units/
Then contact them and ask to speak with the “live donor co-ordinator” and take it from there.
Let us know how you get on and any more questions, please just ask.
