Derry public urged to support the Christmas and New Year Blood donation sessions
Clinics will take place at Lisneal College at Crescent Link on Monday, December 23 from 1230pm to 4.00pm and 5.00pm to 7.30pm
Sinn Féin councillor Aisling Hutton has urged people in Derry to support the Christmas and New Year Blood donation sessions.
Cllr Hutton said: “I would urge as many people as possible in Derry to support the blood transfusion service appeal in the run up to the busy Christmas and New Year time.
“You always think of patients needing blood transfusions in the event of road accidents but rarely do we think of people with medical conditions needing treatment all year around.
“There is a lot of pressure placed on the Blood Transfusion service. The need for blood is constant, with hundreds of patients in the north needing transfusions each week. But at this time of year it can be particularly difficult to maintain their blood stocks.
“I would urge anyone who can help to go along to the Lisneal College at Crescent Link, on Monday, December 23 from 1230pm to 4.00pm and 5.00pm to 7.30pm."
