Cath Stone from Lifeblood said they need people to make their way in for a donation.
“Winter is always a challenging time for blood donation. When people are unwell with colds or flu, they can’t donate – even if they want to,” she said.
“But the need for blood doesn’t slow down. Patients undergoing cancer treatment, people needing surgery, and those injured in accidents rely on blood every single day.”
