Giving blood
Do something amazing today - save a life, give blood!
Every day new medical treatments are being developed and more operations are being carried out. So the National Blood Service constantly needs donations for these vital procedures - about 2.1 million a year.
To give blood you must:
- be generally in good health
- be aged 17 to 65 (if it's your first time)
- weigh at least 7st 12Ib
