Come and give blood, that the call to Droitwich residents from the NHS Blood and Transplant Service.

The service is organising two donor sessions later this month at the Chateau Impney Hotel, and is hoping for volunteers to attend and help meet the demand for blood from local hospitals.

The sessions are running from 1.15-3.30pm and from 4.30-7pm on Thursday, October 23, and anyone is welcome to attend, although the service recommends that people call in advance to book an appointment on 0300 1232323 or visit blood.co.uk.
