Blood donation sessions on 19th & 20th July

The Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service is asking for our support, if at all possible.

In Northern Ireland upwards of 850 units of blood are used by patients each week, yet 94% of the eligible population still do not give blood. Donated blood is usually transfused within three to four days of donation and we need to attract many new donors to ensure a safe supply of blood to our hospitals.

Blood is used in numerous ways, such as going to a child with leukaemia, a mother during childbirth, a person undergoing routine surgery, a person with cancer, or someone involved in an accident.

The attendance of members, family and friends would really support the NI Blood Transfusion Service community efforts and hopefully increase donor numbers.

If you are already a donor or would like to go along for the first time, appointments to donate are available in the afternoons and evenings on Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th July at the Mourne Country Hotel.

Please call 08085-534-653 to book
