When I was in hospital I had numerous blood transfusions to help my little body and to try and fight all the bad things in my blood. My Dad had always wanted to give blood, but never got round to doing it. He always thought you could donate blood at hospitals but never saw it advertised. So, after I used lots of donor blood my Dad asked the nurses, checked the Internet and found out where he could donate.
He visited http://www.blood.co.uk/ and was surprised to find that the donor bank was in Macclesfield that very same day. He tried to arrange an appointment but was told by the very helpful staff to pop down and see if there were any slots available. When he arrived, he was seen to straight away and successfully donated blood.
If you're interested in donating, my Dad says it doesn't really hurt, you get biscuits at the end and most importantly you'll help save lives. Click on the web page below to find your local venue.
