Blood donor chiefs are keen for people to give with a number of Bank Holidays coming up, so please do all you can to support our campaign, now in its fourteenth year, and keep stocks up.

Donor chiefs have also put out a request for people to come forward during the Bank Holiday Period for Easter and also the following weekend , when the nation celebrates the Royal Wedding.

Stocks usually fall during Bank Holidays and with two on top of each other for the first time, plus the start of the holiday period for many families, there’s a special plea to do your bit.
