Give Blood 4 Good is on a mission to get as many young people to donate blood as possible. Donating blood is a safe, simple and rewarding way for people to give back to society, often helping people at a critical point in their lives. Through working with organisations, schools and universities across the country, we’re aiming to improve education and increase participation in blood donation among young adults, and empower people to continue to give blood until they’re no longer able. To achieve this, Give Blood 4 Good is breaking down the misconceptions to remove the fear and mystique that can often be associated with the process, so that everyone who needs a blood transfusion can receive one.

Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'

Objectives: 4. The organisation's purposes are: 4.1 Give Blood 4 Good- Donating for a good cause 4.1.1 Improving awareness and education surrounding blood donation. 4.1.2 Sharing stories of donors and recipients. 4.1.3 Improving the accessibility and awareness of donor centres across the UK. 4.2 Give Blood 4 Good- Regular donation 4.2.1 Creating a culture in which regular donation becomes part of people's lives. 4.2.2 Encouraging early donation habits by directing education initiatives towards young adults. 4.2.3 Encouraging young adults to donate in groups, bringing along people who have never donated before. 4.2.4 Foster a fun approach and encourage healthy competition to remove the mystique and fear often associated with blood donation. We aim to encourage all eligible people to donate. This means focusing on creating a culture that inspires the younger generation to donate and to continue to do so until they are no longer able. A staggering 81% of 18-24 year olds have never donated blood, with 35% of this age group admitting that they are scared to donate . Targeting the younger generation is important to Give Blood 4 Good because we feel if we can encourage blood donation to become a regular part of people's lives from a young age then we can increase donor participation levels long-term.
