Many people think the biggest need for blood at this time of year is to treat accidents or emergencies.

Book an appointment to donate over Christmas and New Year

Christmas is nearly upon us, and we’re all looking for gifts that are a little out of the ordinary. However, did you know that as a regular blood donor, the gift you give can be used in some unexpected ways?

Caoimhe received her first life-saving transfusion within the first few hours of her life. This December, partner Mike made his first donation to help people just like her.

We are pleased to announce a pilot amongst whole blood donors at our Edinburgh Donor Centre.

Hannah, 20, Glasgow, has received six blood transfusions in the last year, after becoming unwell last Christmas time.

Isabella has followed her gran Donna Webster, 61, and mum Lauren Webster, 35, who all have Scotland’s blood donors to thank for being alive.
