We aim to encourage all eligible people to donate. This means focusing on creating a culture that inspires the younger generation to donate and to continue to do so until they are no longer able. A staggering 81% of 18-24 year olds have never donated blood, with 35% of this age group admitting that they are scared to donate . Targeting the younger generation is important to Give Blood 4 Good because we feel if we can encourage blood donation to become a regular part of people's lives from a young age then we can increase donor participation levels long-term.
