Urgent appeal to Brixton blood donors
NHS Blood and Transplant today (2 June) made an urgent appeal to the people of Brixton to book blood donation appointments and help replenish falling stocks. New and lapsed donors were encouraged to make an appointment. There are 686 appointments available this week at the Brixton donor centre; 1,000 slots need to be filled each week to meet demand. The NHS said the current donation shortfall has been caused by a high number of bank holidays coming in quick succession, combined with the start of the half-term break.
