If you have been thinking about donating blood, think no more about it. A new blood donor is needed every 4 minutes, with 1 in 3 people needing blood. This person could be your family member, a friend, a neighbour or a stranger who needs your help.

If you are a healthy 18-75 year-old and weigh over 50 kg, find out if you can donate blood and start changing lives. The good news for people who lived in the UK for over 6 months between 1980-1996, the rule preventing you from giving blood in Australia was changed on 25 July 2022, so if this was a reason (like myself) not to donate, it's one you can now remove from your list. Whilst most people can donate blood, there are some instances where you may not be eligible to donate. Take the eligibility quiz here.

The Lifeblood website has so much information about donating and it's not just your blood - there is so much more to know about donating blood! Do you know your blood type? Did you know there are 8 main blood types? If you don't know, that's OK, you can still donate your blood and then you will have a record of your blood type.

Be a lifesaver today. Have a look at the Lifeblood website, take the eligibility test and if you feel this is something you would like to contribute to, book an appointment and spend a few hours of your day making such a worthwhile contribution.
