Scotland needs over 25,000 donors to give blood before Hogmanay

What do Christmas puddings and blood types have in common? On the surface, not much - but at this time of year, they make a handy metaphor for something both complex and life-saving.

We’re thrilled to announce that the ‘Give Blood, Save Lives’ campaign created in partnership with Highland News Group has been shortlisted for the 2025 Making a Difference Award.

We're implementing an improved process for blood and plasma donors requiring a Malaria Antibody Test.

At this time, we particularly need male AB donors to come forward.

It's that time of year again when you may be getting your vaccines.

If it’s been a while since you last donated, the team at your local donor centre would love to welcome you back.

Why do blood donations decline by up to 20% in autumn and winter?
