We are working hard to increase the number of people giving blood and we urgently need your help. There is a significant need for more donors of Black heritage to help the growing number of patients needing blood.

You can also come along and find out what your most likely blood type is and receive more information around blood donation.

We’d love to talk to you about:

  • blood donation and the need for more donors of Black heritage
  • finding your blood type
  • sickle cell
  • registering to donate

Black heritage donors are ten times more likely to have the Ro blood type urgently needed to treat the 15,000 people in the UK with sickle cell disorder. Sickle cell is a painful and debilitating condition which is particularly prevalent in people of Black African, Black Caribbean, or Mixed background.

Donors from Black heritage communities provide better matched blood to those who need it. Demand for these subtypes is growing as more people have regular transfusions to treat blood disorders such as sickle cell.

We are working hard to increase the number of donors of black heritage. Do something amazing, sign up to give blood and save lives!
