Can you give blood at a donor centre this week?

Share

In the last 6 days we have lost 656 donations due to weather disruption. With the extreme weather continuing across the North of Scotland, it’s more important than ever to keep blood stocks healthy.

What can I do?

  • If it is safe for you to do so, please make an appointment to give blood at your local donor centre 
  • We’re especially appealing to O positive, O negative, A positive, and B negative donors - but all blood types are needed.
  • If you're booked in to give blood, please check our session searcher for the latest information before you leave for your appointment, as we continue to face disruption
  • Our Facebook and Instagram pages​ also display the most up to date information.

How do I book in?
