You don’t have to donate to advocate

In a world where we scroll, tap, and share all day, your voice online can have real-world impact. Whether it's a selfie with your post-donation bandage, or a heartfelt message about why you donate, it all adds up. Your story might be the nudge someone needs to book their first donation.

That makes you an advocate. A supporter. A Lifeblood Social Media Superstar.

Every week, Australia needs 33,000 blood donations to meet patient needs. While rolling up your sleeve is one way to help, using your voice online can be just as impactful.

Simple ways to support

Here are some easy ways you can be a supporter.

• Share your story: Post about your donation experience and why you choose to give.

• Highlight the need: Use statistics and facts to emphasise the ongoing demand for donations.

• Encourage others: Invite your network to join you in donating or to learn more about the process.

Tools to amplify your message

Need help finding the words? No worries, we’ve got you. The Supporter Toolkit is packed with ready-to-use graphics, captions, and facts you can share anytime, anywhere.

• Social media templates: Ready-to-use graphics and captions for any platform.
