Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

When did you last give blood?

Just informed my latest has gone to Birmingham University Hospital. As a child I lived not too far from there, so I suppose I could consider that it's gone home :) Hope it does someone some good.

Thanks @Pothunter I generally don’t get the “your donation has gone to…” messages. Maybe that’s cos I’m in Wales? Anyway it’s good to remember I’m doing it for real people not just to get a coffee & an orange club biscuit 😁

Don't get the message in ScotBlood either. Different and separate systems as I understand it. I would like more info as it seems motivating and interesting.

Also a text just saying - this was tour Nth donation, Xth at this location. Etc. You could have stats about time of day, day of week and if they could record Hb level, duration of flow etc even better.

I will need to lookup if that was 54 or 55th! :-) G

Nobody contacted me from Blood UK to discuss my request to be unbanned, but I've just checked online and the ban has disappeared. I've booked an appointment for Monday afternoon. It's a bit close to my first few races of the year, but I should be over it before my target events.
