About our donation venues
Our city donor centres need you
We run most of our appointments at 25 main donor centres where we have permanent teams and greatest capacity. Right now, there are spaces we must fill in order to maintain a good blood supply to hospitals.
Our London donor centres, especially Westfield Stratford City and Westfield Shepherd's Bush, have the most available appointments.
Please book at one of these venues, if you can:
Other places you can give blood
In addition to these 25 main centres, there are also thousands of temporary community-based venues where you can give blood.
Community-based venues
These are temporary blood donation centres in towns and villages around England.
Donations take place in a variety of buildings – for example church halls, sports centres, mosques, football stadiums and hotels. Find your local blood donation venue and book an appointment.
We usually visit these venues 2 or 3 times per year, but this can be more often, depending on the number of local blood donors.
