🩸 September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know that around 38% of donated blood in Scotland is used to support people with cancer and blood diseases?

For people living with blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma, blood transfusions can be a vital part of treatment. Donated blood and blood products can help patients through intensive treatments, manage complications and support their recovery ❤️

So, when you give blood, you’re not only helping people in emergencies. You could be supporting someone through one of the most challenging times of their life.

One donation can make a huge difference. If you’re eligible, book your appointment at the link: https://www.giveblood4good.org/donate
