Sickle cell disease and thalassaemia are inherited genetic blood disorders.
Early diagnosis, specialist care, treatment and support can significantly improve quality of life.

Blood donation saves lives. Each donation is a precious and generous gift which can save or improve the lives of up to three seriously ill adults (or six sick children).

The blood donation experience takes about an hour in total. Giving blood itself takes around 5 to 10 minutes
(15 minutes maximum).

We advise that you book an appointment prior to donating blood. You can book via via https://my.blood.co.uk/sign-up or by ringing 0300 123 23 23.

You will donate in four easy steps:

A quick health check looking at your travel, medical and sexual history
An iron test (a small drop of blood is taken via a little pin prick to your finger)
Sit back and give blood
Save lives - enjoy a drink and a biscuit afterwards, and book your next appointment via our app
We welcome every new donor who joins the growing numbers of people who donate their blood to save lives.
