Roadshow to raise awareness of organ donation changes

The Welsh government has run a campaign letting people know of the coming changes

A roadshow to raise awareness about changes to the organ donation system in Wales begins on Monday.

Teams of people, some of whom have been affected by organ donation, will visit 21 supermarkets over five days.

They will provide information about Wales becoming the first UK country to introduce a soft opt-out system for organ donation, and encourage people to speak to loved ones about the changes.

The new system will come into effect on 1 December.
