Next week, someone in our community will need blood or plasma after surgery, cancer treatment, childbirth, or an accident.

You'll probably never meet them. But your donation could be the reason they're here for another birthday, family dinner, or school pick-up.

One hour of your time can change someone's entire future. And next week we still have 156 whole blood appointments and 97 plasma appointments to fill.

If you are eligible, we would love for you to make an appointment via our app, website or by calling 0800 448 325. Thanks Waikato ❤

Check this out! One of our Donor Relations Coordinators, Scott, joined the Manawa Dragons at Hamilton Lake on Sunday. Scott taught them a thing or two about blood donation, and they taught him how to paddle correctly on a Dragon Boat! 🛶

We love connecting with our communities and look forward to seeing some of the Manawa Dragons team soon at our Hamilton Donor Centre ❤️
