Campaigns

Why do we campaign?

We need to make sure there is the right blood available for patients throughout the year. To do this we run local and national campaigns to encourage:

people to sign up as blood donors and start saving lives
existing donors to continue donating to help us keep blood stocks healthy

Current and recent campaigns
