B Positive is a group of 60 singers from across England who live with sickle cell disease, their families, helpers and friends. The choir was formed with the mission to create awareness of sickle cell disease and the need for more blood donors. Fresh from their powerful television debut at MOBO Awards 2017 in which they shared the stage with the British Got Talent Winner Tokio Myers, the B Positive Choir are proud to announce the release of their 1st single "Rise Up," a rendition Andra Day's original song. With lead vocals by Gospel sensation, Lurine Cato.

NHS Blood and Transplant and MOBO, 1st started to work together in 2016 to spread awareness of the urgent need for more blood donors to a wider audience. NHS Blood and Transplant urgently needs 200,000 new blood donors each year in order to help provide those who need it with the best care possible. 1 donation takes an hour and can save up to 3 lives

Choir director Colin Anderson said:- "Over the last year 900,000 people have given up their time to help patients in need. But we need more new donors. Every day, we need 6,000 donations to continue saving lives. We need life saving blood from new donors of all backgrounds to provide the closest matches for all communities. We are particularly looking for younger people and black communities to come forward."

Lurine Cato said:- "We urgently need 40,000 new black donors help people with sickle cell disease. Sickle cell is more common in black, South Asian and Minority Ethnic people. Blood from black donors provides the closest match to black people who need blood."
