A Blood Donor Awareness Day, offering potential blood donors the opportunity to find out more about donating blood, will be held at msp's Café on the Park from 9.30am to 2pm on Tuesday, June 30th.
Following that event, the next blood donation session at Manchester Science Park will take place on Thursday, July 30th.
The blood donation unit will be based at Williams House Car Park on the day however, as July is the start of the school holidays, anyone willing to attend is asked to email Stephen Brooks-Johnson in advance on stephen.brooks-johnson@mspl.co.uk
Blood donated by volunteers can be used in any number of ways, for example red blood cells are used to treat all kinds of anaemia which can't be medically corrected as well as replacing red cells lost in accidents, surgery or childbirth while platelets from blood are of huge benefit in post transplant and chemotherapy treatments.
