‘Share Life, Give Blood’

World Blood Donor Day 2019 is June 14, 2019. This is an annual event with the purpose of thanking voluntary blood donors and to encourage new donors to take part in upcoming clinics to help continue to change and save lives.

One of the aims of the day is to encourage younger people to feel to sign up and start donating, so that the donor population doesn’t decline in upcoming years.

It is also to highlight the need to for donations to be regular in order to keep stocks and quality of blood donations high.
