Giving blood - the Gift of Life

Pontypridd RFC is proud to support the Welsh Blood Service in its appeal for donors. Giving blood is the gift of life.

“The Welsh Blood Service organises the collection, testing, processing and distribution of blood. We rely entirely on voluntary donors to maintain supplies to Welsh hospitals.

We need to collect over 400 donations of blood everyday and demand has risen steadily over the last 10 years as medical techniques become evermore sophisticated.

Anyone aged between 17 and 66, who weighs over 7st 12lbs (50kg), who is healthy and not subject to certain medical exclusions can volunteer to become a blood donor.”

Please give blood – an itinerary of blood donor sessions in the Rhondda Cynon Taf area during the month of August is attached.
