Blood Donation

Blood is life. Without it, life cannot exist, and all the medical advancements and knowledge of the past century would not have been possible.

Donating blood is an active way of helping others and society as a whole.

There is no substitute for human blood. Every day brings advances in life-saving techniques – many of which require blood or blood products. Please donate as often as you can – blood supply is a precious gift of life only you can give.
