People across Greater Manchester who have registered to give blood are being urged to donate.
New figures have revealed that around 235,000 people who signed up to give blood in 2022 have not yet made a donation. According to those same figures, more than 10,500 people in Manchester are registered to Give Blood, however, only two in three (7,150) have attended a donation appointment.
It comes after last October saw the first-ever amber alert on blood stock shortages. While blood stocks have since stabilised, more people are still being encouraged to donate with more slots being made available for new donors.
