Come save lives: Blood donation community fun day - April 2025

There is a significant need for more donors of Black heritage to help the growing number of patients needing blood.

Black heritage donors are 10 times more likely to have the Ro blood subtype urgently needed to treat the 15,000 people in the UK with sickle cell disorder. To get the best treatment, people need blood which is closely matched to their own. This is most likely to come from a blood donor of the same ethnicity.
