Can i Donate Blood

The venue search above will show you all blood donation sessions in your area. When you have decided where you would like to donate, we recommend you book an appointment.We do understand that some people just like to turn up, so you are of course welcome at our venues without an appointment. Please bear in mind we will need to schedule you around our donors who have pre-booked, but we will aim to see you as quickly as possibleYes. Individuals who are 16 years old and 122 pounds (with parental consent), or at least 17 years old and 110 pounds, and are in general good health can donate blood. If your son or daughter is 16 years old and has expressed interest in donating blood, but was not old enough, now could be their opportunity. By becoming a blood donor your son or daughter is showing great civic responsibility, maturity and a sense of community pride. Through their blood donation, your son or daughter has the potential to save up to three lives!
