Blood donors
Every year on 14th June, countries around the
world take part in World Blood Donor Day.
Why should people donate blood? Donating
blood can help people if they have been badly
injured or need regular blood transplants
because they have a long-term illness.
Giving blood can also have health benefits. All
donors have their blood pressure and iron
levels checked before donation, so people
who donate blood can find out quickly if
they have any health problems.
Giving blood can save lives and it is easy to do!
