I’ve donated for some years (58 donations)
When I 1st started I worked for RM in a mail centre and we had a lorry attend and we were let off work to make the donations
I’ve carried in ever since - now I’m retired. The resources seem strained and it’s quite difficult to get an appointment every 3 months
I lost a friend back in the early ‘90’s, a haemophiliac and was a victim of the contaminated blood scandal- he was just in his 20’s
I’ll continue to do this as long as I can and would like ideally to do it more frequently- I’ve roped in both my girls too
It’s a great feeling when you hear that the bloods been used
