Celebrating blood donors this Christmas

Monday 16 December 2024: The Bermuda Blood Donor Centre will be thanking people who give blood over the holiday season in December with a gift kindly donated by the St George’s Group.

Everyone who donates always gets a drink and cookie as they rest for a short period after their donation. Through this month, they will also get a bar of Cadbury’s chocolate.

Chief of Pathology and Consultant Haematologist Dr Eyitayo Fakunle says they are grateful to the St George’s Group for helping them bring some holiday spirit to donating.

“The holiday season is very busy for many people and so we appreciate even more than usual the generosity of our donors, who give up half an hour of their time to donate blood,” he says. “Giving gifts is in the spirit of Christmas and we want to celebrate those who give the gift of life this year by donating.”

People who want to donate can contact the Bermuda Blood Donor Centre at 236-5067, WhatsApp at 533-9553 or email blood.donor@bhb.bm. Clinics run Monday to Friday, 8am to 3pm.
