areas of potential focus - how religion may be stopping people from signing up.

many muslims worry about donating organs fearing that their religion forbids it.
 now though, some imams have started to make clear in their sermans 

‘it will make a massive difference because they will be able to say, yes you can, you know, its not wrong, you;re not gonna be doing anything wrong or your not going to be punished or whatever people belive. 

I’m really really pleased that this is happening it will make a massive difference in the muslim community.'

nearly a 3rd of the waiting list is made up of people for the black and asian minority community

only 5% of deceast donors come from that community
