National Blood Donor Week

For those who give life

Thank you(s) aren’t enough to express our gratitude for all that our blood donors do, which is why we’ve introduced a whole week of celebrating them!

Each year, around World Blood Donor Day on 14 June, Lifeblood is proud to host National Blood Donor Week — it’s our way of recognising the impact and importance of our wonderful donors.
