Want an extra special gift? You can ask family or friends to make a blood donation on your behalf.
Perhaps you’re having a special birthday this year. Or planning a wedding. Or maybe you’re organising a baby shower. Whatever the occasion, asking your guests to consider giving blood in lieu of presents is a heartfelt and meaningful idea.
How to do it
Download an invitation card. You can use this card, or simply lift the words and change to suit your event and your style.
Let your guests know. Just pop a card in with your invitation or add a line about it in the event information.
Watch the cards come rolling in ... and start counting up how many lives you’ve helped change!
