Blood donors are special people who help to save the lives of seriously ill patients. This site contains information for anyone who wants to give blood in South, West and Mid Wales.
Did you know? You can visit any of our blood donor sessions as long as 12 weeks has elapsed since you last donated.
You can also enrol as a donor online.
Platelets are mostly needed for patients with cancer, leukaemia and emergency care and for premature and very young babies.
Please click here if you would like to know more about Platelet Donation.
Do you have a story to share? We occasionally need human interest stories to highlight the importance of blood and platelet donation.
If you, or someone you know, has received blood or platelets and would like to share your story with us, we would love to hear from you.
Please email your story along with your name, age, daytime contact telephone number and area where you live to tracy.sampson@wbs.wales.nhs.uk
SWINE FLU - INFORMATION FOR DONORS
We still need to collect blood as normal during this outbreak of Swine Flu. We are therefore asking all blood donors to continue to donate blood as usual.

Welsh blood media
The Welsh Blood Service have joined forces with the Ospreys and launched a new ad campaign, which is aimed at recruiting younger donors, especially young males. Welsh internationals and Osprey stars, Gavin Henson, Adam Jones and Lee Byrne feature in the new campaign.
