    when i go they have free stickers for the kids aswell, 'my mum gave blood today' etc. In the past i have also been given a blood group keyring and a calendar, If you go 10 times yiu'll get a badge & certificate. But just go for the tremendous sense of wellbeing!!!:A

    i do it for the little packs of biscuits and take my 6 year old son and he loves getting the stickers and thinks its amazing that i do it , and i hate needles but it is good to do it. i wear my pin badge with pride !!!

    remember if you do good for someone something good will happen to you same goes if your bad to someone ...................
    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ~ WOO HOO what a ride!

    the rules for giving blood are far too strict, its sad really becasue so many more would do it if they could .

    I can't any more :cry:

    It was terrible. I had just received my pin for 10 donations and then found out that I was diabetic. Since I take meds for it, I can't donate any more. :confused:

    Yes you can if give them a call they will send you a short film of what to expect and what questions they will ask.
    Might i add that at this time of year they are crying out for all types of blood donations
    What better gift can you give someone the gift of life and you even get a drink and bickies back in return,now that cant be bad
    I was refused a couple of weeks ago as iron levels were to low so im just waiting to here from them as to when i can go again
