Why Give Blood
Most people between the ages of 18 and 65 are able to give blood.
Why we need you to give blood
- Each year we need approximately 200,000 new donors, as some donors can no longer give blood.
- Most people between the ages of 18 and 65 are able to give blood.
- Around half our current donors are over 45. That is why we need more young people to start giving blood, so we can be sure of having enough blood in future.
- Find out who can give blood, then book an appointment to give blood.
Blood groups and types needed now
We need more donors from all blood groups and types. We particularly need more people from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to give blood, so that we have a supply of certain blood types.
Register as a blood donor, book an appointment to give blood, and help someone in need today.
