Think I've given 34 pints now - can't believe only 4% of the population donate. It's worth it for the teacake alone!!

I have a blood transfusion during a pregnancy so unable to ever donate again

I am an organ donor though so hopefully one day I can help in some way!

Used to inbetween tattoos although I think now it's a bit less time you have to wait until after getting 1

Although I got knocked back last time as my iron was low

Still had a cuppa and a biccy tho

Cannot recommend giving blood highly enough the feel good factor afterwards is brilliant!!

Ps...and it does not hurt 1 bit!

I don’t give blood. I’d like to but they have issues with my sexual partners and I don’t think telling lies on their forms is helpful. I really hope I never have to recieve blood.

Always have since I was able (apart from breaks for pregnancy etc) but got a new tattoo recently. I was pleasantly surprised to learn they’ve reduced the time you can donate to 4 months after a tattoo, it used to be a year.

I have received a few transfusions over the years for ops. On one occasion it went really bad for me during an op and I had complications. I had to have a full body blood transfusion which in itself has risks. It saved my life so I just want to thank you all that can donate. At least 42 donors people saved me. Please continue to donate.Thank you xxx

Not nearly as often since moving back to Glasgow. I was stopped for a while, too due to getting glandular fever. See these prophylactic avoiding STDs? Lol

They came to my school when I was 17 and I have donated regularly since then.

In the summer I was invited to an awards ceremony for making my 50th donation, was a good day!

I received my bronze badge for donations then wasn’t allowed as I’ve had two transfusions.

My Dad received his Gold badge for blood donations. I encourage my sons to donate as well.

I would like to sincerely thank all those who give blood, it is very much appreciated.

I have had multiple transfusions myself. It really does save lives, I can not thank those that donate enough.
