Giving blood is one of the most selfless gifts you can give to another person. By giving blood, you are potentially saving lives and helping patients with specific conditions recover and lead a normal life.

With just three per cent of eligible people in Wales donating blood, every contribution makes a difference.

Anyone who meets the following criteria may be eligible to donate:

• Aged between 17 and 66 (for first-time donors).

• Weigh over 7 stone 12 pounds (50kg).

• In good health and not subject to medical exclusions.

The entire donation process takes around 45-60 minutes, with the actual blood donation lasting just five to 10 minutes.
