the national blood service has a really nifty website that can show you blood donation sessions near you. you plug in your postcode and available dates and times and it’s tells you where to go. i’m impressed.

i haven’t given blood for ages and would like to do so again. since i have a habit of fainting afterwards i like to give in the evening at a location within walking distance of home so i don’t have to drive anywhere afterwards. you can probably get the same information from 0845 7 711 711 but the website’s really well done, it’s easy to use and seems up to date.
