GIVE BLOOD
Be the one to add that Christmas Sparkle!
BLOOD STOCKS ARE CRITICALLY LOW
If just 1000 of us registered, made an appointment and gave just 1 hour of our time to donate we could each impact the lives of 3 people. We need your help to keep providing life-saving blood to the NHS this winter. Winter is always a challenge for blood stocks with cold weather, seasonal illnesses and busier diaries. We need your help now more than ever to keep providing lifesaving blood to the NHS.
WE NEED
Nearly 400 new donors a day to meet demand ❤
❤ Around 135,000 new donors a year to replace those who can no longer donate
40,000 new black donors to meet growing demand for better matched blood ❤
❤ 30,000 new donors with priority blood types such as O negative.
More young people to start giving blood so we have enough blood in the future ❤

Why I give blood
Tony Nicholls
The journey started a long time back in my late teens where only a few weeks after I was old enough to give Blood my Dad asked if I wanted to start as a Blood Donor. I wasn't given long to ponder the question as he was off to give blood in about an hour's time.

My grandmother gave blood for years and became a life long donor. I'd thought about doing it for years and then one day thought, 'I'm going to help other people'. It wasn't until I gave blood that I knew my blood type. A- which is quite a rare one with only 6% of the population having it, so I'm classed as a priority case when I donate.
