Great to be back in Craigmount High School

Share

We've been delighted to return to schools recently for our blood donation sessions. Students and staff...we've really missed you!

This week our Edinburgh Team collected donations at Craigmount High School. The school allowed us to take over their library for the day and welcome loads of new donors. We'd like to give a huge thanks to the 48 donors who attended, most of whom were there for their #1stDonation and eligible now they have turned 17.



Since 2011, Craigmount have given hundreds of donations with the school's last session was held in 2020. In 2013 the school was awarded an honour from Teapot Trust for their amazing support of blood donation. And the beautiful teapot still has pride of place in the school's award cabinet!

If you've turned 17 and haven't given your first donation yet, we'd love to welcome you to a session near you. Come along with a family member who already gives blood, or get a group of pals together and all book in. You will be very well looked after and we have great post donation snacks!
