I managed to donate a few over the years but in recent times being put on meds mean I can’t donate any more. Big thanks all those who do! For those who are still donating is it a much different experience given the current restrictions?

I’m happy to do it and see it as a privilege. I’m sure that if you’re of that disposition you do good stuff in other ways too.
