Who Can Give Blood?
Most people can give blood. If you are generally in good health, age 17 to 65 (if it's your first time) and weigh at least 50kg (7st 12Ib) you can donate. If you are female, aged under 20 years old and weigh under 65kg (10st 3lb), we need to estimate your blood volume before donating. (Please click here to check this.) You can give blood every 16 weeks, that's approximately every four months.
