I never really though about giving blood until the National Blood Transfusion Service did a Mobile Collection Drive at my then office.
Ever hesitant, I was one of the last volunteers to give blood on that day and I am happy to say that I had an extremely pleasant experience.
This piece was inspired after chatting with the nurses and learning of the challenges and benefits of receiving/not receiving regular blood donations.
You never know when you or someone you know may be in dire need of a pint or two, so it’s good practice to start today and ‘Save for Life’
