Give blood

We urgently need you to give blood. The NHS needs 3 blood donations every minute to handle emergencies, childbirth, and critical treatments. Our current blood stocks are low, and your donation can save lives. Please book an appointment at one of our city centre locations today.

Some people with cancer need transfusions of red blood cells, platelets or even a stem cell transplant to stay alive. It's in your blood to save lives.

As long as you are fit and healthy, you should be able to give blood. Check if you meet the requirements to donate.

Whether you’ve given blood before, or you’re new to donation, you could donate plasma to make lifesaving medicines. We need more plasma donors in Birmingham, Reading and Twickenham.

We always need new donors. Let us take you through the steps to becoming a blood donor and the process of getting that first appointment booked.

Sickle cell is more prevalent in people of Black heritage. Donors of African and African Caribbean backgrounds are 10 times more likely to have a vital blood type needed for treating this condition. Your donation could help save lives.
