Do Something Amazing...

Does Giving Blood Hurt?
Personally, No. Its a tiny needle, it goes in, the bag fills up and out comes the needle. It just feels like a tiny pinch on the arm.
And afterwards you get free buiscuits and juice :p

How Much Blood Is Taken From You And How Often Can You Donate Blood?
You can donate every 16 weeks, 1 pint of blood is taken, and more than one life can be saved from that one pint

How Old Do You Have To Be To Give Blood?
You Have To Be 17 To Be Able To Give Blood, And Most People Can Give It Until They're 60, Or Even 70 If They're In Good Health.

Virtual Blood Donation Session
If you want to get a virtual experience what happens when you go to donate blood, go to The National Blood Service Website www.blood.co.uk, and click on "Virtual Session"

Have you checked out the forum? Its full of information on all aspects of blood donation, from blood groups to free buiscuits!

Want some prizes?

Invite friends! Tell your friends to join and tell them to post your name in the guestbook, and you might just get a prize!

If i see you around the hotel, and you are wearing the badge, I might randomly give you something :o

If you have any suggestions on things we can add to the group, let us know!

Make sure you drink plenty of fluids before you go and have something to eat!

After you have donated, you will be offered a drink and something to eat to keep your strength up!

Did You Know?
In 2007 The National Blood Service received 2.1 million donations from around 1.6 million donors. Sounds a lot? Actually it isn't. That's only 4% of the population, giving two or three times a year.

Why Should You Give Blood?
Well besides the fact of the free buiscuits and juice and the nice warm giving feeling you get inside :p, you're helping save peoples lives.
Just think if you or a family member or friend ever need blood in the future..your blood could be helping to save their life!

  • gothical.witch

    As much as I believe in gay rights and I believe they should be able to give blood, it doesn't mean people who are able to give it shouldn't.

    Just because gay people aren't allowed to do it, doesn't mean we should all give up and let innocent people die.
    My blood is healthy, so I will give blood every 4 months, because I can do it, and I can save lives :)

    and yes, hopefully in the future.. they will have rights to do it too.

    Do something amazing.. [u]DON'T GIVE BLOOD[/u]

    Fact- Gay people are not allowed to give blood which is a violation of there human rights (the british blood service would rather someone die, than accept blood from gay people)

    This is a homophobic and wrong rule,
    please don't give blood until the national blood service no longer discriminates gay people. (Believe it or not, being gay doesnt mean there blood is infected with aids!)
    .... Trust the uk office to support this group!
