Easter opening hours 2025

This Easter weekend (Good Friday to Easter Monday inclusive), we have almost 1,000 donor appointments left to fill in Scotland. Almost 900 of these appointments are in our donor centres in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Could you take time out from your busy weekend to book your appointment?

The need for blood does not take a rest. Last year on Easter Sunday 2024, 236 donations were issued to Scottish hospitals, and a further 254 donations on Easter Monday. Help us show patients they are not fighting alone this Easter

As a small token of appreciation, we have chocolate eggs on session for everyone who donates between Good Friday to Easter Monday inclusive.
