A free blood donation call centre, set up to put genuine donors in touch with genuine recipients.
Blood is not something a trust can stockpile. What it can do is hold the network — donors who have said yes, and a number a family can ring at three in the morning when a hospital says it has none of the type they need.
The service both motivates people to donate and connects them to the patients who need it.

Two doors: one if you need blood, one if you can give it
Blood group (optional)
Choosing a group only changes the wording of the WhatsApp message. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is stored — your blood group is health data, and this site keeps none of it.
I need blood
Telephone first. The call centre keeps a list of donors it can ring, and it rings them itself — you do not have to find anybody. Have the blood group, the hospital and the number of units ready.
If it is urgent, call rather than message. During the pandemic the trust kept an ambulance aside purely to fetch and return donors during curfew; urgency is understood here.
I want to donate
Register your group once and the desk will ring you when somebody near you needs it. Registering commits you to nothing — you can say no to any call, and most people are asked rarely.
Registering costs nothing and takes one message. The whole service is free at both ends: the trust never charges a patient and never pays a donor.

Three things that would help, today
This one costs nothing at all — not even money.
Put your name on the list
The call centre keeps donors it can ring when a hospital runs short. Registering costs a phone call and commits you to nothing.
Donate when they call
During the pandemic the trust kept an ambulance aside purely to collect and return donors during curfew. If they ring, they need you that day.
Pass the number on
Most people needing blood urgently do not know this service exists. Someone in your building will need it this year.
Nothing here is paid for on this website. Every one of these starts with a phone call, because they are conversations rather than transactions — and because the trust would rather know what you are offering than take a card number.
