This building is the Leeds Blood Donor Centre on the Headrow in Leeds city centre. I used to donate blood regularly, however the last few years I got out of the habit. Now that the The National Blood Service has opened this blood donation centre right in the heart of Leeds I will get back into it again.
Shortly after taking this photograph I went into the centre and gave blood. I have never needed it, but you never can tell and it costs nothing to perhaps help someone at a difficult time in their life.
Besides that you can get a free coffee and a chocolate biscuit! So if you live in or near Leeds in West Yorkshire what is stopping you?
The address is
Blood Donation Centre
117 The Headrow, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 5JW

I guess I should give blood. There are many mobile blood donor centres across Sweden. I wrote a post about the blood bus back in 2007.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Only a very small percentage of adults eligable to give blood actually do, its a shame because it is invaluable in medical treatments. Just one unit can be split up to help several different people, its amazing what it is used for. The NBS have a facinating website, well worth a read.
ReplyDeleteHopefully someone will donate after seeing this post. I cannot donate blood here in Australia, the reason being if you lived in UK between 1980 and 1996 you are not eligible. I left UK in 1982.
