In the UK, hospitals need about 4,300 blood donations every day to help patients get the care they need. This includes treatments for surgeries, cancer and emergencies.
To help meet this demand, we are pleased to announce that the University is now an official blood donation location. The NHS clinic will be held in The Edge, with the first session from 1.05pm until 7.45pm on Thursday 23 January 2025, and the second on Monday 24 February 2025 from 1pm until 7.35pm.
The remaining confirmed dates so far for 2025 are:
- Friday 11 April
- Thursday 26 June
- Monday 14 July
- Tuesday 5 August
- Monday 11 August
These sessions make it easier for students, staff and local residents to give blood and support the community.
