As the holiday season approaches, the demand for blood increases, making it crucial to maintain a stable blood supply. With this in mind, the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) is gearing up for ‘The Big Bleed’ next Saturday (November 30).

This is a nationwide blood drive that aims to collect an impressive 5000 units of blood.

On Friday (November 15), the Ladysmith Blood Bank set up a mobile blood donation unit at De Francas SPAR. The response was overwhelming, with lots of donors rolling up their sleeves to contribute to this vital cause.

The SANBS would like to extend its heartfelt gratitude to each and every donor who took the time to visit the mobile unit and donate blood. Their selfless act will undoubtedly save countless lives.

Mark your calendars for November 30 and join the movement to save lives, one donation at a time.
