Why start a Lifeblood Team?
Whether you’re a blood recipient, a close friend or a family member, you’ve seen the power of blood in a moment of need. Starting a Lifeblood Team is a way to share its impact and help others who may be in similar situations. You don’t need to be a blood donor to start a team but you can be an advocate for why it matters.
How to start a team
- Sign up for a Lifeblood account (or log in if you already have one)
- Go to ‘Teams’ and choose ‘My Team’
- Click on 'Create a team'
- Complete the registration form
- We'll be in touch via email to confirm your registration and provide you with information to bring people together.
Reasons to start a team
“Team Adem was created by Adem Crosby after he was diagnosed with leukaemia at 17. Despite his illness, Adem was determined to raise awareness about the life-saving power of blood donation. Being part of the team has shown us how something that starts small can have such a large and significant impact. It’s a meaningful way to bring people together and knowing that you are helping save lives is an incredibly rewarding feeling.”

“Start a team and become part of something that’s priceless. As a recipient of blood, I know there is no better gift.” - Donna Cass, Recipient and Team Champion
