Today is World Blood Donor Day ๐ฉธ and we want to take a moment to say thank you.
Thank you to every single person who has rolled up their sleeve, given their time, and quite literally saved a life. It costs you nothing but an hour of your day โ and to someone else, it means everything.
The facts are powerful:
๐ฉธ 118 million blood donations are collected around the world every year
๐ฉธ One donation alone can save up to 3 lives
๐ฉธ 1 in 4 of us will need blood at some point in our lives
At CarePlus, we work every day to support the health and wellbeing of people across Bournemouth and Dorset. We know better than most just how vital blood donation is โ for surgery patients, cancer sufferers, accident victims, and so many others who depend on the generosity of strangers.
If youโve never donated before, today is a great day to start. It takes just 10 minutes and you could save up to three lives.

And if youโre already a regular donor โ we see you, and weโre grateful. โค๏ธ
