Share the love

It's not just about the free biscuits, honest! There are so many benefits to giving blood or plasma... that sense of pride for giving a little bit of you, physically, to potentially help save a life or at least assist in helping in someone's recovery. It always leaves me with an enormous sense of wellbeing. Time very well spent :)

Giving blood saves lives. The blood you give is a lifeline in an emergency and for people who need long-term treatments. We need new blood donors from all backgrounds to ensure there is the right blood available for patients who need it. We need: - 4,300 blood donations every day on average to meet the needs of our hospitals - over 140,000 people to donate blood for the first time this year - 12,000 new Black heritage donors, to meet the growing demand for ethnically matched blood for sickle cell patients who need regular transfusions to stay alive - more young people aged 17-35 to donate, to ensure we have enough blood for the future
