North Shields residents are being urged to help save lives by giving blood at a session in the town next week.
The NHS said donations are urgently needed after blood stock levels around the country have fallen. This is a result of cancellations due to illness and the annual drop in donations over summer when people are busy with holidays and events.
Now, people are being urged to come along to a blood donation session that is being held at the Linskill Centre, Linskill Terrace, on Tuesday, July 12. The session is currently only 68% full and donors with O positive blood type are particularly needed.
