Can You Help Others by Giving Blood?

---

Book an appointment or simply walk in to local session

Giving blood is easy, it doesn’t take long to do and you can help save or improve up to three lives each time you donate. So what’s stopping you?

That's the message from NHS Blood and Transplant, which adds that it needs over 200,000 new people to register as donors this year.

Blood donors can now create their own personal account
which links to their existing blood donation records. This meant they can book, amend or cancel their own appointments online.

You can help the boost stocks of blood by becoming a donor if you are generally in good health, aged between 17 and 65 and weigh at least 7st 12lbs.

The next local sessions are at:

Hammersmith Town Hall, July 10 - 1pm - 3pm and 4.30pm - 7.30pm

White City Community Centre, July 23 - 1pm - 3pm and 4.30pm - 7.30pm

Hammersmith Town Hall, August 6 - 9.30am - 12.30pm and 2pm - 4pm

Charing Cross Hospital, August 17 - 8.55am - 11.55am and 12.55pm - 3.10pm

Stoll, Fulham Road - August 31 - 10am - 2pm

You can make appointments for all these sessions, or just walk in.

If you would like to give blood, you can call the NHS Blood and Transplant Service on 0300 123 23 23 or visit the website.
