Give blood
Just one donation can help save the lives of up to three people
Are you eligible to give blood? If you are, find out where you can donate.
Many people receive donated blood for many different reasons, read the amazing stories of some of these people and see the difference someone like you can make to their life and to their families.
Often there are many questions a donor has about donating blood:
- What should I expect?
- Once my blood has been collected, what happens to it?
- Are there different ways to donate blood?
- Where do I donate my blood?
- How do I book an appointment?
Even if you are unable to donate blood, you are still able to help to help NZBS by becoming a volunteer. Our volunteers are important people as NZBS relies on their generous support to help us with many different tasks. If you have time, please consider becoming a volunteer too.
NZBS can also assist Workplaces to arrange a blood drive. Talk to our Donor Recruitment staff for more assistance on 0800 448 325 or contact us.
NZBS also has various resources that are available for the general public as well as for schools. These resources include posters, videos, resources for teachers, and information on start a fan club, a website where donors and recipients alike can tell their stories about receiving and giving blood.
“Blood donors saved my life – if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be alive. I want to make people more aware of my story so they know how important it is to donate blood.” Geoffrey Joe
