Easter opening hours 2026

This Easter weekend (Good Friday to Easter Monday inclusive), we have over 1,000 donor appointments to fill in Scotland - and more than half of these are in our donor centres. Could you take time out from your busy weekend to give blood?

The need for blood does not take a rest. Last year we issued 1,120 units to Scottish hospitals over the Easter weekend - 412 on Good Friday alone. This year, help us show patients they are not fighting alone this Easter

Find out when your local centre is open and where you can give blood over the Easter weekend, and book in below.
