Giving blood

Don't know if you've ever thought about giving blood before but its a great thing to do. It doesn't hurt and is very quick to do. I'm off tomorrow for the first time after having my 3rd child (you have to wait a year after giving birth to go), and am really pleased I can donate again.
Its great to think about others but even if you can't if you were involved in an accident tomorrow or your kids were wouldn't you want stocks of blood there for them too.
My blood is in special demand as being o rhesus negative I can donate to anyone in an emergency as that is what my blood type can be used for so I try and make sure I can give the maximum I can (4 times a year I think it is)

It might be something you've not thought of before, or you may eb a bit scared, don't be, its not hard and you'll save someone's life.

The website link to find a local session is below, there'll be one nearer than you think and some of them even do a creche so you can go if you have children.
