Partners

The best workplaces give back.

Our partnerships are vital to our work, each one is unique and allows us to develop long term activity at both a regional and national level across England. From Disney to the Home Office to The Science Gap/Bloodlines project, our partnerships reach millions of people each year and increase the number of blood donors to save and improve lives across the country.

Give the best gift

Every day blood and are needed to save and transform lives. Blood is used in life-threatening emergencies, to combat cancer, fight sickle cell or provide lifesaving medicines to help babies' hearts to continue to beat.

The NHS requires approximately 5,000 units of blood daily to meet the needs of patients and with a shelf life of just 35 days, stocks need to be constantly replenished. Blood is needed every day and we need need for existing donors to keep donating, as well as new O negative donors and donors of Black heritage to come forward.
