Good thing for me is, Montgomery Hall in Wath-on-Dearne is the place I give blood,
come out of the hall, a steady walk to Wetherspoon's Church-house to re-fill.
My next appointment Monday 20 March at 12.05 - Last appointment Boxing Day 2022.

What I like is the Blood Donor's letting you know where your blood ends up.

After my blood donor session on Boxing Day 2022 -

My blood was sent to a manufacturing centre in Manchester, where it ran standard
tests, & then processed into a form that can be given to a patient in need.
Once ready, my blood went to North Manchester General Hospital, where it will
help to save or improve someone's life.

Over 1 in 3 share my O Positive blood group.

Well done you guys.

I can’t join in because of an hereditary blood issue, but I would if I could

Interesting to note that while people from all communities and backgrounds do give blood, fewer than 5% of blood donors who gave blood in the last year were from black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.

This is despite black, Asian and minority ethnic communities representing around 14% of the population

Good for you guys taking up the slack

Cheers Grist 👍

Don't quote statistics Grist or you'll end up like Zac Kriegman (Google him - an interesting read/watch if you have half an hour).

I did Brin but I nearly passed out. Can’t stand the sight of blood…particularly my own 😜

Seen a few pass out mate over the years while donating, everyone has a phobia of some kind.
