Blood drives

At Give Blood 4 Good we feel that blood drives are a great opportunity to encourage a large group of people to donate blood in a short period of time. It is also a fantastic way to encourage people to support their peers through the process of giving blood, which is particularly valuable for first-time donors.

Please note that it is not currently possible for GB4G or Scotblood NHS Give Blood to facilitate remote donation sessions, such as blood buses or office takeovers.

However, there are still a number of ways that GB4G can support you in organising a blood drive for your organisation. All you need to do is select one of our blood drive packages below.

Our Packages

Gold

*As a non-profit charity run by the goodwill and support of volunteers, we rely on fundraising and grants to be able to do the life-saving work we do. We have included a recommended financial donation against each of our packages below, however please note this is not mandatory. We’d love to work with you to encourage more people to give blood whether your organisation is able to donate money or not, and would be happy to share more information about how the money we fundraise if used if you are interested in learning more.

Not the right time to organise a blood drive for your organisation?

If it is not possible to work with your organisation to organise a blood drive, we would still love to support you in raising awareness of blood donation by delivering a virtual presentation / lunch and learn to your colleagues. As part of this, we will discuss topics such as the difference between the eight different blood types, the criteria to give blood, as well as share real-life stories of people who have benefitted from blood donations. Having an open conversation about blood donation within your organisation could encourage many people to book their first appointment, or remind those who haven’t given blood in a while to start donating again!

Recommended donation to GB4G: £250
