Calling all Londoners – 27,000 blood donation appointments which need to be filled

Right now, there is an urgent need for Londoners to help fill available blood donation appointments across the capital, including over 27,000 appointments available at our city donor centres (West End, Stratford, Shepherds Bush, Brixton, Tooting, Edgware and Twickenham) over the next six weeks – around 4,500 per week.

Currently, there is a particular need for more O negative and B negative donors, as well as more donors of Black heritage to help treat patients with sickle cell.

O negative is the blood type used to treat patients in emergencies, including accidents and childbirth, and is therefore in constant high demand.

If you have one of these much-needed blood types and are able to donate, please go online at www.blood.co.uk or call 0300 123 23 23 to book an appointment.

By giving an hour of your time, you could save up to three lives.
