Welsh Blood Service 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

At 11:00am today, we will be holding a two-minute silence to commemorate armistice day.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

"At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them." ❤️

❗️Blood stocks are low and expected to drop even further in the coming days❗️

We have more than 1,000 appointments available over the next fortnight 🗓️

We need your support to fill them and help patients across Wales! 🙏

Blood donation in the UK was first needed on a large scale in May 1940 for the injured troops returning from Dunkirk 🩸

Over the years, donors continue to save the lives of people in need through giving up their time to donate 💪

On behalf of recipients across Wales. Diolch ❤️

🎆 Remember, remember, the 5th of November...

💖 Don't forget to book an appointment to donate blood this month if you're eligible!

✨ Each donation provides a sparkle of hope to patients across Wales.
