The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) are inviting residents in Langholm, Moffat, Dumfries and Annan and the surrounding areas to donate blood in August.
A Spokesperson for Scotblood said “Every minute of every day someone in Scotland receives blood as part of a life saving or life improving treatment. Less than 4% of the population currently give blood. The Scottish National Blood transfusion Service (SNBTS) must welcome 3500 blood donors each week to meet the needs of patients in Scotland. We aim to maintain a 6 day supply of each blood group, at all times, to continue to meet hospital requirements. Whether you’ve never donated before, give blood regularly or haven’t been for a while, SNBTS would like to invite you to your local blood donating session. For more information please visit https://www.scotblood.co.uk or connect with us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/givebloodforscotland or twitter @givebloodscot.“
