Other ways to help

There are many ways to help! Welcome to explore the ways that you can use to multiply your help efforts.

Speaking up for blood donation is an important form of helping, as only 3% of people of donation age go to donate blood. For example, you can tell your loved ones about blood donation or share Blood Service posts on social media channels.
