Help Donor Award Scheme Donating blood is simple Component donation Donor Award Scheme FAQs More information Donor Award Scheme You could say we’ve got a fresh attitude to gratitude! The NBS has launched a new awards scheme that will give donors around the country the very best sort of thank-you. Everyone likes to be thanked when they do something good, and donors are no exception. The only trouble was that until recently the NBS was saying thank-you in different ways to different donors, depending on where they lived. While some regions might, for example, offer an awards presentation at the 50th donation milestone, others may not. This was confusing for donors, and seemed unfair. To put things right, the NBS market research department conducted a survey of donors to look into donor awards to find out what people really wanted. As a result of the survey, a brand new awards scheme was introduced at the beginning of 2002. Every donor achieving 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 donations will receive a pin-brooch, certificate, letter of thanks, and a new donor card. In addition veterans of 50 donations will receive a special pen, 75th will be given a crystal plate, and those making their 100th donation will receive a crystal decanter. See below for more.
