We believe blood donation should be based on an individualised risk-based policy rather than a blanket approach which categorises donors on their sexuality. So please, support us and pledge online that you too would donate blood if you could.

It’s crucial the Government and the Blood Service understand how important this is to so many of us and how many donors would make the life-saving act of donating blood, so to show that we are missing out on a wider pool of donors, we would ask that you pledge here.

We would also be grateful if you could spread the word by tweeting here or on Facebook here.
