Welsh Blood Service appeals to Deeside residents to “roll up their sleeves”
The Welsh Blood Service is appealing for donors across Flintshire and Wrexham to support patients in need by booking a lifesaving appointment or, if they are not already a donor, considering signing up and “giving it a go.”
The service says stocks of A Positive, A Negative and particularly B Negative blood types are currently not where they would like them to be to meet the needs of the 19 hospitals across Wales they directly supply.
Appointments are available throughout July and August, with donation clinics running in several local venues including Mancot, Connah’s Quay, Airbus East and Buckley.
A dedicated booking link has been set up for residents in the Deeside area: https://wbs.wales/DeesideNews
Helen Wynne from the Welsh Blood Service said:
“Every share helps save lives as you encourage new blood donors. Every donation saves three lives or the lives of six babies, which is an incredible gift.”
Donation venues and dates in the coming weeks include:
Mancot
Connah’s Quay – Labour Club
Airbus
Buckley
Anyone aged 17 to 66 and in good health can become a donor. Regular donors are also being encouraged to book their next appointment as soon as possible.
