Give blood

Keri lost over 8 litres of blood during childbirth and needed 42 units to survive. Thanks to donors like you, she’s here to raise her children.

This National Blood Week, we’re saying thank you to everyone who makes stories like Keri’s possible.

We always need new donors. Let us take you through the steps to becoming a blood donor and the process of getting that first appointment booked.

This National Blood Week, we're recognising the amazing people who donate. Find out how we show our appreciation to all our giving types.

Whether you’ve given blood before, or you’re new to donation, you could donate plasma to make lifesaving medicines. We need more plasma donors in Birmingham, Reading and Twickenham.

As long as you are fit and healthy, you should be able to give blood. Check if you meet the requirements to donate.

Sickle cell is more prevalent in people of Black heritage. Donors of African and African Caribbean backgrounds are 10 times more likely to have a vital blood type needed for treating this condition. Your donation could help save lives.
