Blood is needed every day of the year for treating a variety of illnesses and conditions, as well as accidents and emergencies. Even for some whose illness has no cure, a blood transfusion can help to improve the quality of their life.

With the winter months, many people are unable to attend sessions and donor numbers inevitably dip.

During February, there will be two extra blood donation sessions happening in Barnsley at the Holiday Inn, so if you are able to give blood, please do consider it.
