Use Mother's Day to think of blood donation
12:06pm Thursday 23rd February 2012 in Letters
We are urging the public to celebrate Mother’s Day by giving donations of blood in March.
One of the biggest uses of blood is to help mothers and babies who suffer complications during childbirth.
A donor session will take place at The Grove Centre, New Street, Horsforth, from 2pm to 4pm and from 5pm to 7.30pm, on March 7.
A session will be held in Otley, on March 12. It will take place at the Wesley Hall, Boroughgate, from 2.15pm to 4pm and from 5pm to 7.30pm.
A further session will be held at Yeadon Town Hall, from 2pm to 4pm and from 5pm to 7.30pm, on March 22.
