Hospitals across England and Wales need more than 6,000 blood donations every day to treat patients.
While many people think that blood is used mainly for accidents and emergencies, donated blood is vital for a wide variety of life-saving procedures.
A blood transfusion can help to save the life of a new mother or it could be used to treat blood disorders, such as sickle cell anaemia and Thalassaemia.
The next donation day will be held at Swindon Town Football Club on Wednesday 27th December with appointments available between 12:30-16:00 and 16:50-19:15.
There are some walk in appointments available on the day however we would advise attendance by Appointment.
